What Selco Looks For

Confidence dealing with builders, plumbers, and electricians and dealing with trade customers is key as well as an understanding of the products. Physical ability to carry out heavy lifting and use of forklift work around the yard is also required and should be stated in the application.

Tailor Your CV to the Role

Also consider mentioning any relevant experience in builders merchants, DIY retail or trade-facing roles. Try to write your CV in a few pages (no more than 2). Look for the National Careers Service’s ‘Write a good job application’ page for the most up-to-date advice on writing a good job application.

Preparing for the Interview

Many of the questions will be practical. The questions about handling difficult customers and working at a fast pace will need examples of situations from past jobs where you dealt with difficult people or situations quickly and found solutions. It may be helpful to think of one or two scenarios before going to the interview, for example how you dealt with a situation where a trade customer was looking for a product that you no longer stocked, but a similar product was available instead.

After You Apply

If you haven’t heard anything within a couple of weeks it’s a good idea to send a brief follow-up email to the contact at your local branch or to the wider recruitment team.

Preparing for the interview for jobs at Selco Builders Warehouse is very straightforward and will ensure you have given sufficient consideration to the application and written a suitable CV for the required roles.
