Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was involved in supporting Talent Marketing campaigns across EMEA region to support IBM's hiring efforts. I was involved in preparing and planning campaigns that included social media activities, virtual events and utilising external job boards.
I was also heavily involved in designing new promotional assets for IBM job opportunities as and when required.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Lots. IBM has a perfect setup for taking university placement students. You're assigned to a foundation manager who is always available to help answer and questions about settling into IBM or technical things you may not be able to ask your day to day manager. This means there is always someone on-hand to offer support if you need it.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I loved my time at IBM. Whilst I was completely virtual for all 12 months due to covid-19 pandemic, I don't feel like this held me back in getting the most of my time there.
IBM have a smooth internship program and this really showed in pivoting to a fully virtual onboarding process.
