Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility from very early. The whole troubleshooting cycle up until service orders is my job, it's a big task to manage on a day to day and can take up a lot of time analysing and looking at ways it can be improved.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I've developed some more technical skills especially within the IM division (mobiles, tablets etc.). However, due to the current climate I've been unable to get "stuck in" from a practical stand point as it's been mainly virtual.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot of support - my team is extremely willing to help! I was wary of coming into such a big company and whether I would be left to fend for myself but this was absolutely not the case.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I've enjoyed the experience as much as I can. It's hard to comment when I haven't been into office too many times, haven't been able to visit partners like I should have been. The experience of moving close to London has also been tarnished with everything being closed the majority of the time. But overall I've had a really good experience working at Samsung for a year considering the circumstances.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Samsung Electronics to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Samsung Electronics
Enjoy the process of applying and make sure you have some form of work experience. This doesn't have to be corporate, it can be working in a shop for example. The only experience I had in a professional work environment was working in a warehouse. At the interview look to drive the standards and raise others up. But the actual interview was the most enjoyable for me, they make you feel at home!
