Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Lots of variation dependent on which projects are being worked on. Tasks distributed/updated on Mondays with the team and then given freedom to work on and take responsibility as you want. Day to day tasks generally focus on market research for different brands using a variety of techniques.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Plenty of responsibility both over individual tasks but also the team is more than prepared to give more responsibility when asked for, in both ongoing projects and separate tasks. The whole team remained very open to giving and working with placement students as full employees and giving responsibility accordingly.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
Practice interview technique with your careers team at university beforehand. Otherwise be sure to submit a clear CV which highlights your existing skills and any relevant experience. You are not expected to have work experience but anything such as societies etc always helps. Also worth considering extracurriculars, nice to see who you are outside of a working environment, helping to humanise you to the recruiter.
