Is there anything I can do to help me compete against internal candidates?
Hi I’m very keen to start a career with CCEP and I had an interview a few months ago. From feedback received I interviewed very well and it was between myself and an internal candidate. Unfortunately for me the internal candidate was successful. I totally understand and respect the decision as there are numerous benefits from promoting within. Is there anymore can I do to help me better compete with an internal candidate?

It was team merchandising manager. I have also recently applied for account exec, beverages for tomorrow in Glasgow. The advert closed almost a month ago, based on this does that mean I’ve not been successful for interview. Thanks.
Hi Daniel, I’m currently a manager in Tesco. Speaking to some CCEP colleagues and managers I understand training in done via an app, which I have viewed and looks an amazing tool. Would anything like that be open to myself to complete in my own free time or maybe some voluntary work. -

We don't have external access to our training modules unfortunately, however, if you look at the job adverts they give you a good steer on some of the skills and characteristics that you need. There's a lot of resource out there that link to these skills. We encourage our teams to look at things like Ted Talks, Harvard Business Review articles and YouTube videos on a wide range of topics linked to the roles.

Appreciate the feedback Daniel I watch Ted Talks and YouTube videos all ready but never heard of the Harvard business review, I’ll look into that. Thanks.
