Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves managing customer relationships and process their renewals. My day-to-day responsibilities involve replying to emails, conducting customer calls, organising pricing and strategising on how to grow accounts.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given a lot by having full control of an account base. I don't think this is particularly common and I am extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity as it has allowed me to largely develop my skills as someone who learns by doing.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Definitely. The main one would be the soft skills involved with sales e.g. forecasting, managing customer relationships and negotiating. Interpersonal skills are extremely important in sales roles, this was an existing skill for me which I have now developed further in a professional setting.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot. Initially by the University team before beginning the role. Then once I did, I had a mentor in my team who was helping me learn the role. Also, the wider team has always been extremely welcoming and available to help me.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Absolutely incredible. From the get go, you are so welcomed and not made to feel like 'just' an intern. I have always felt involved and like I could go to anyone with a question. Not to mention Adobe values our personal wellbeing hugely, this is made clear with the incentives they offer.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I am so grateful to my past self for choosing to do a placement year and then applying to Adobe. This has been one of the best years for me, inside and outside of work. Getting involved in corporate culture has been thoroughly enjoyable, aside from a few moments of stress. It's helped me learn more about myself and where I want to end up in the future.
