If you are looking for a place where you are given responsibility from day one - L'Oréal is the right place for you.
I was directly managing around 12 key accounts and had enough autonomy and trust from my team to implement my own ideas as well as take lead on various projects throughout the year

Working in supply chain was very beneficial as I've learned how to prioritize tasks in a working environment as well as how to communicate effectively in a way that enables professional relationships to thrive.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Considering my placement took place over the strangest time in history. I could not imagine how my peers and managers could have been more supportive. Everyone I worked with was always on top of things and willing to help. Never once I felt like I could not reach out to other people which was amazing in a pandemic where everything was over teams
