Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, we were treated as though we were full time employees. I even had the chance to go to an event in LA on my own, which felt incredible to be so trusted. The brand is really built on trust and allowing you to fail fast and learn plenty!

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Gymshark
Go for it! Be yourself. As a student we don't have masses of experience so they are really just looking for someone that will bring energy and be willing to work hard. Show your personality and try not to stress too much over what you know or don't know, the placement is all about growth.
