Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day-to-day I would help with any ad-hoc requests that my team would have, whilst during month end, forecast spend each month to ensure accurate practice. Also would liaise with non-finance business partners to help them with any finance queries. Would refresh reports and used SAP regularly to look at invoices.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given more responsibility than I expected, which was good because it allowed me to learn quicker and have to develop the skills faster which helped the initial transition period. So yes definitely!
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to NBCUniversal
The advice I would give is focus on writing a good cover letter that covers all the points in the job description, make sure you're enthusiastic about the industry and the work and you should be fine! Be yourself also, the early careers team is very good at placing people in the right places, so there will be a spot for you, no matter your personality!
