Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role included working with a wide range of teams across the business, such as Finance, Sales and Supply Chain. Day-to-day responsibilities vary, whether it is managing the brand's budget, working on the execution of products in store, or analysing the brand's performance through share data. Each day is different to another!
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
High level of responsibility, such as being in charge of the budget, leading large projects such as influencer campaigns. Working with senior stakeholders and building strong relationships with suppliers. This all emphasised the amount of responsibility and trust your team and wider stakeholders have with yourself.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
Stay professional in the interview process but also show your unique personality and ensure you remain engaged. For the online assessment centre really focus on working collaboratively with other applicants, work as a team on the group activities and combine your ideas with others. Be yourself and remember you do not have to be the loudest in the room. Make sure you prepare and know the company values and behaviours they expect from employees.
