Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

This role was very dynamic. It involved being innovative and creative, proficiency with Excel, Canva, Sharepoint and Adobe, the ability to collaborate with teams internationally, take ownership and lead projects, an understanding of how to analyse data and use this to increase various KPI’s across the business and most importantly, the ability to produce excellent quality work whilst juggling several different projects/tasks on a daily basis.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, however the internship is very dependent on how proactive and involved one is with their team. If you’re able to demonstrate interest, curiosity and the ability to deliver the results, more responsibility was given

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I was given ample support, feedback and advice. The company has an open-door policy even amongst senior management. I was given a mentor, sponsor and buddies (outside of my immediate team) who were able to answer any questions or address any concerns. There were also regular check-ins from Early Careers to make sure everything was going smoothly.
