Do you want to work in Halfords because you want to be a mechanic or because you want to work your way up the ladder in retail?
If it's because you want to be a mechanic you're in the wrong place.
If you want to work your way up the retail ladder, your in the wrong place too.
If you know one end of a bike from the other you'll likely be the only one in the store.
You'll end up doing all the work because you know about bikes and you'll never get a raise because most store managers in the company are car guys that look at the bike dept. as an 'add on' that they have to give floor space to rather than the valuable part of the business it could be.
