From CHR to Applicant at Intermarché: David’s beginnings to become a musketeer member
In our Build-In-Public series we follow young entrepreneurs in their career to take the direction of a store. Here is David’s journey, ready to engage with the group of musketeers.
Multiply internships to confront realities on the ground
David does not hide his enthusiasm: “I have done three courses since the last time we talked about. One with a member who had just created a service station, another which resumed a second point of sale, and the last, a pure creation. At each stage, he observes, questions, learns, and above all, Compare operations.
“Today, I am able to say to myself: what can I keep?” What am I able to integrate? Because it also depends on who I am. I am less technical than others. »»
Through these experiences, he discovered the richness of the network: “Honestly, I did not think that it was possible to have such different points of sale within the same grouping. And it is the joy of the self -employed: each business manager is really unique ”.
Learn the job by doing it
The daily internship is demanding, but trainer. “At the very beginning, you are at the planning, you touch everything: cash, surface, reception … and little by little, you enter the hard”.
He evokes a strong example during his first internship: “Every morning, I made the orders and the re -apple with the director. You understand that this is your key tool. And above all, that it is not a process to be unrolled, but a tool to be piloted ”.
This type of delegation, it retains it:
“As an adhesive, if you want to do everything yourself to reassure yourself, you go to the wall. You have to clarify, delegate, and above all to trust ”.
