Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked on Unilver.com making changes and managing content, working with different stakeholder to maintain our reputation as a company through external facing channels. I also, managed content sharing and translating news articles across our 50+ websites. It was a lot of computer work and managing business as usual tasks and request from stakeholders.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I would say I was! A member of my team changed roles mid year which meant I had to step up in a short amount of time and take on more tasks and responsibilities.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Good overall, everyone was very hard working and time sensitive. My team had a lot of trust to deliver individually. There was an unprecedented amount fo change in one year which was quite tough as someone new to the corporate world but thankfully, my team wasn’t too affected in the end so it worked out.
