About the Role
At Currys, we’re dedicated to one mission: helping everyone enjoy amazing technology. As the UK’s best-known retailer of tech, we’re known for delivering exceptional customer service—and it all starts with our team.
Our Retail Sales Colleagues don’t require prior tech expertise. Training kicks off with a two-day induction (virtual or at our Fort Dunlop Academy, Birmingham), equipping you with everything you need to sell, serve, and support customers. Expect to:
- Gain supplier training and demo skills
- Learn cutting-edge product knowledge
- Develop endorsing expertise
Sales Colleagues work flexible hours, including weekends (Saturdays/Sundays). Store operating hours typically range 9am – 8pm (local variations may apply).
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
