Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! Compared to internships I’ve had before I felt like I was given lots of responsibilities and this gave me more confidence in my abilities. I felt like I was part of the team as opposed to not being given any work to do and feeling less valuable than other colleagues. This has been really helpful for my personal development and learning how to ask for help if I need it and that no question is a silly question!

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
Be your most authentic self, don’t try to be someone you’re not. I’m not the most confident of people and that doesn’t matter! People often think you have to be really extroverted to do a good job but this just isn’t the case. You can find a role that suits you and you will get the best support you need if you are being true to yourself and any additional requirements you might need.
