Dino Rocos, the department store giant‘s Operations Director has encouraged jobseekers to join John Lewis, famous for its Christmas campaigns, by explaining that he himself started as a Christmas temp.
“I certainly didn‘t think when I joined John Lewis as a Christmas temp that I would still be here 40 years later as a board director,” Rocos said.
“It quickly became clear to me that I was developing a fascination for retail, so accepting an offer for a permanent job at the end of my contract was an easy decision.”
