Brand and Marketing Placement Student Review

I spent 6 months on the Shopping Experience team and 6 months on the Loyalty team. Both of which involved the execution of daily business as usual tasks, planning, project management of my own projects, aiding in campaigns and more. On a daily/weekly basis, I speak to a range of people, including my immediate team, other areas of marketing department and a range of agencies.

I was given an amazing amount of responsibility on placement, and felt highly trusted by my teams. I owned many of my own projects, many of which were customer facing and were valuable contributions to the business. TJX value their placement students very highly and ensure you are getting as much out of your placement as possible.

Over my time on placement, I have become much more confident and developed my knowledge of how a real business functions greatly. I have better developed by communication and presentation skills, whilst also learning how to be more flexible. I have picked up improved skills on Excel, and bettered my strategic thinking through partaking in learning and development courses.

I received a high amount of support throughout my placement, both from within my team and out. Regular catch ups were scheduled, learning and development sessions were provided, plenty of feedback was given and everyone was always happy to answer any questions!

TJX's company culture was very open and friendly, with a passion to learn and help you be your best self. Although the majority of my placement was online, this culture came across so strongly and everyone really was so lovely!

I greatly enjoyed myself on this placement and have had the best year away from university. I am very sad to be leaving, yet will be leaving with the most valuable experiences, memories and connections.
