Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am responsible for coordinating the Oracle Women's Leadership communities across EMEA. I do this by enabling virtual events, assisting with communications and marketing, understanding the needs of our communities and promote diversity and research through data analysis.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes- I had a small team so I had a lot of responsibility with regards to the callibre of jobs I was undertaking. I was also trusted to communicate with senior employees within the organisation. I have taken on many of my own projects with minimal oversight and have also taken control of organising a number of virtual events.

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt how to navigate large organisations and how to weave diversity and inclusion into actions and conversations. I have also developed my communication skills both verbally and written. I also have more confidence in my abilities and have more certainty in my actions and m work. I have also learnt more about my creative skills and challenged myself to tap into them.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a really good balance of guidance and independence. I was trusted to "explore" things and different ways of completing tasks. I also had an intern community which I could turn to if I had questions outside of my day job.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
People I have worked with are always willing to help and also have a passion for diversity and inclusion. Due to the large nature of the company it can feel slightly isolate from time to time.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and will be sad to leave. I think it was the right balance of being introduced to the world of work but I now feel more assured in my career opportunities and what i do/don't want from future roles. It also makes me proud to know I have created lasting work and has also made me more engaged for returning to University.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Oracle to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Oracle
Be your true self- there are such a range of people at Oracle and they want to get to know you. Make your interests known because Oracle has something for everyone. Research extensively via a range of platforms e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn and Oracle's own news portal. They do lots of work so the more you understand the scope that Oracle has, the more you will be able to align it with your interests
