Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to assistant the Sunlight team in helping to launch a brand new product in Vietnam. I would often have meetings with our team in Vietnam to ensure that deadlines were being met and that the product launch would go smoothly. One of my most important projects was working on a PR launch pack for the product which went out to the CEO and Directors.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was responsible for a launch pack that went out to Directors and the CEO. This was my own project, where I would often lead meetings and had to reach out to multiple manufacturers to decide who would be able to create what I was envisioning.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I definitely learned how to prioritize tasks based on when they needed to be done and how important they were. Another skill I developed was the ability to budget. As I was working on marketing, it was important that I understood how much money was available and figure out the best ways to use this.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It felt like everyone was in it together. I got to work with so many people from so many departments, from all over the world. And despite the company numerically being so large, it definitely felt smaller than it was.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
Don't be afraid of showing a bit of personality. In my final interview, I spent the majority of it taking about my small podcast! I also reached out to current Unilever IP's on LinkedIn and asked them for advice which was super helpful.
