Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I assisted in the creation and implantation of marketing strategies by conducting competitor analysis and creating resources to aid Renault dealerships. On a day to day basis, my role varied greatly. I often worked on creating presentations for senior management that highlighted competitor strengths and weaknesses, as well as completing financial analysis on Microsoft excel.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In the initial stages of my placement I completed less important tasks. As I grew into the role, my responsibility increased, and I was trusted with tasks that had a significant impact on business decisions. I was happy with how this unfolded as it allowed more for responsibility as my confidence grew.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My ability to use Microsoft excel greatly improved during my time at Renault. I started off as an novice, and I am now able to perform a variety of complex tasks. This is something I feel will definitely benefit me during my career. As well as this, my general work ethic, time management, and ability to effectively communicate with others have significantly improved.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I thoroughly enjoyed working at Renault as everyone is friendly and welcoming. I always felt welcome and people were willing to take time out of their day to answer my questions
I do however believe that frequently changing commercial objectives often created a pressurised environment that left employees stressed.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Renault to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Renault
My advice would be to take every opportunity that comes your way. Also, it is daunting in the beginning as it is completely different to university, but as soon as you get a hang of it, it is good fun!
