Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The main role of the Commercial Intern is to support the National Accounts Team. Daily, I process orders, arrange merchandising requests and ensure that pricing has been correctly set up for customers.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! On my very first day, I was assigned a small role in a long-term project. I was gradually given more responsibility as I grew more familiar with the company's systems and my co-workers. The onus was very much on me to complete my tasks correctly and on time, as other people were relying on me to do so.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My hard skills improved a lot as I started to use Excel and PowerPoint more frequently. However, my year at L'Oréal has also helped me to improve my soft skills such as communication, self-motivation and teamwork.
