Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! Although everything we did as an undergraduate had to be overseen and approved by managers, if we had a specific project we would like to work on, we could! We were able to write a letter to an editor, set up a #JOY club and participate in projects that will be used in the UK and worldwide

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Most importantly; how to speak confidently, concisely and professionally. This goes for in-person and virtual meetings as well as emails. First impressions are important, so introducing yourself in a virtual world is essential. I have learn how meticulous you need to be when working with drugs, and how to reach out to people when you are struggling

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Pfizer to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Pfizer
Do the best you can, and don't put on a front at interviews. They are really looking for your own personality, and it becomes clear after a few months that some people were not so honest. Because pfizer read my own and my colleagues personalities clearly, I have made firm friends in other undergraduates. Teamwork is so important, but some teams may need someone to steer conversation
