Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role varies on a day-to-day basis. Often it involves a lot of admin, logging and updating records, creating schedules, planning events. It can also include being involved in the recruitment process and conducting interviews, leading meetings, distributing payslips, creating the quarterly news letter etc.. This tends to vary and rotate monthly.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. I was given the same responsibility as my colleagues. I was eased into these responsibilities and they increased as I became more skilled and comfortable with managing my workload. I always had support from my colleagues when completing my tasks but as the year went one, I needed it less and less. The more you put into your placement the more you get out of it. Creating a good relationship with your team and manager gives you a great support system and insight to how your department functions.
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 learned so many new skills since being at Faurecia. Some of these include confidence, resilience, time-management, initiative, problem solving, and team work. I have grown so much since working at Faurecia, I am leaving the business much more mature, self aware and equipped with the skills for the working world.
