Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Flexible project work and day-to-day administrative tasks which vary from week to week depending on what strategic priorities the business are focusing on at the time. A fun and welcoming office environment with lots of collaborative spaces.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
So much responsibility! You have flexibility on what projects you would like to work on (within reason) and how you complete them. You are given as much trust and responsibility as a permanent employee.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
The biggest skill I have developed is my self-confidence, through networking, presenting and general conversations I feel a thousand times more comfortable communicating in corporate and social settings. I have also developed my HR knowledge e.g., policies as well as my awareness of how different HR function work together to create a happy place for our employees.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was trusted to complete tasks independently, but there was always a subject expert to turn to if I did need support who was always more than happy to help. I also had regular 1-1s with my line manager to monitor my progress and create future action plans to achieve my goals.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Siemens to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Siemens
Show your authentic self in the recruitment process. Especially those apply for roles within the early careers programme. Hiring managers are looking for cultural fits and try not to base the hiring decision solely on skillset and experience.
