Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a significant amount of responsibility during my time here in L'Oreal as an intern.
I was in charge with producing the reports which are shared with internal and external stakeholders. This is key as you have to make sure you are presenting reliable data.
Answering queries from the team and customers is also a big responsibility as you are making you have the right facts by doing your own research or liaising with the other teams to gather the information needed.
