Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I had to work with external agencies to develop and prepare marketing materials, this meant writing project briefs, project managing, reviewing materials and working cross functionally to get insights for developing these. This job also include using internal system for all material approval.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The more the placement went on the more responsibility I was given and at the end I was leading on all marketing materials for a brand relaunch. The managers keep increasing the complexity and responsibility very carefully to not overwhelm you but enough to keep you challenged and help you advance
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have definitely developed prioritisation, project management and also leadership skills. The placement offers you the possibility to get involved in many charity projects as well as skill development style events therefore you can customise your experience and focus on the skills you want to develop

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Pfizer to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Pfizer
I would say have a clear vision why you want to be a part of Pfizer and what you want to experience. Pfizer doesn't necessarily only promote linear career progression which means you can get to experience so much of the business if you want to which is something to definitely keep in mind
