Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Being a part of the Product Development team for Cruise my role revolves around ensuring our costumers have the best experience onboard our ships. This can involve the design of a venue, sign, menu or brochure or deciding which chair is comfier. This all depends on the projects you are given.
On a day to day basis I worked on the Signage project which meant I managed/designed each sign for our new launched ship. This ranged from venue signage to disabled access signs.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I felt a huge responsibility within my role but with that came great respect. I felt well respected and appreciated within my team, which made me feel no different to the permanent roles within the business.
I enjoy being left to get on with a task independently which I was on a daily basis, this allowed me to prove my work ethic and resulted in me feeling proud when the placement/project was completed.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes, I have had tonnes of opportunities to develop my existing skills and add new skills to the list. Time management has been the biggest takeaway with a strict working structure in place I have become a 'maximiser' by being productive as possible.
My presenting and speech confidence has improved massively with the placement projects we explored through-out the year. From my role I developed my communication skills as I worked with many external international contractors on a day to day basis.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a great amount of support from my team and the placement scheme, I was able to talk about any problems openly and help or advice would always be provided.
There was not much guidance through-out my placement on how to navigate my role however this was something I worked out and improved on on the way.
