tell your boss you want to get into Stock Control, cos the next step after that is your options. Even once uv started your options, apply to the police force and the options course will look good i.e. see you have leadership, initiative, responsibility qualtites that there looking for.
I know it seems like a waste of time working in a shop but Tesco is a good company to work for and there training is recognised.

I am responsible for most of the crappy chaved up motors in the NW. I like my job because of the hours, pay and people i work with, but the customers are all tossers.
