Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The job is almost entirely project based, so most days will follow different routines depending what projects are currently in the works. At an overall viewpoint - the projects follow the idea of wanting to improve the customer interaction with the company. Across the whole buying cycle the customer interacts at numerous points, it is at those points the projects are tailored at improving. My focus was on Delivery and offering other premium options such as Saturday delivery.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Because of my work being mostly project base it had meant I was very independent and trusted. My weekly catchup with my line manager creating the opportunity to discuss these responsibilities - but in leading projects I was trusted and encouraged to work to the best of my ability.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Excel has become my useful and most developed skill after this internship. Using it daily created the challenge and opportunity to develop my excel skill to the point where peers believe I am very skilled at this. In truth I do the basic well. On top of all this, L'Oréal offer a wide variety of learnings that in taking advantage of helped me learn way past the operations of the company into the other functions.
