Future Career Prospects
Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves many different things, no day is the same! My main focus at the moment is working on our Future Careers attraction strategy. This essentially means that I manage how our programmes (Graduate, Placement and Apprenticeship Scheme) are advertised, whether this be through social media, job boards, outreach events and even our website. Along side attraction I also over see the teams finance which is also a big part of my role.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibly from day one with so many opportunities being offered to me when it came to getting involved in different projects. I have even been able to run some of my own with little help from my Line Manager (she was always there to support where needed though!)
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt so many new skills whilst being on placement at Unilever (both hard and soft skills).
I have built not only my self- confidence but also my team working skills, my listening skills, my communication skills, resilience, critical thinking, leadership and time management skills - all of which are crucial for my role.
