Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was involved in the medicalisation of online content and enhancing the representation and online presence of my brand. I designed and collaborated on new product renovations and launches. I also was involved in producing content to help sell products in national e-retailers as well as the design of tangible materials to be given to the customer and to advertise the brand I was working for.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given quite a bit of responsibility, I found that as the internship progressed I was being entrusted with more and more which was is encouraging. However, whilst I was given responsibility and independence during my internship, I never felt as though I couldn't ask anyone higher on my team for help or guidance if needed.
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 learnt a plethora of new skills as well as developed my existing skills. Being adaptable, open-minded and determined are just three of many that I have had the opportunity to improve at L'Oréal as the environment is quite fast-paced at times and juggling different projects at the same time is expected.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal
Be yourself, because the chances are that the person interviewing you has also been in your position, wanting a job, and know how you feel. You don't have to pretend, the interviewer will be understanding of nerves.
