Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I look at our PRM scheme and eComm content as well as leading in data acquisition for my team - I am in a team of around 15 people where we all have our specialist roles, as the apprentice I am able to help out across all of these different tasks
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
i really really like my team, they are all so kind and helpful, however, I find the uni aspect of it very difficult as I don't have any support from LSBU and a huge work load as well as a 9-5, I find this very stressful and hard to manage
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have learned how to use many new tools that are common in corporate companies e.g power Bi, Sales Force, and Brand Watch, as well as this, I have developed my presentation skills massively, taking part in many company presentations on a large scale which have really helped me
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
it has a very tight and rigid structure within the company as a whole, in my team we just have 1 manager across all of us so we are all equal - I work in digital hub and then those who are brand specific sit in a different area and not my team
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
from my employer, i get lots of support and help if I am ever struggling, being in the office helps and we can chat in person and get the support I need. they also offer great mental health schemes that i can use which are a massive help to me
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
we have all the linked in learning sessions that we can use at any time, then we have training sessions throughout the week every month that cover many different topics that I can use and utalise when needed - you can also sign up to different training sessions if wanted here
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
i feel like it does not relate, it is an old course which is not relevant to what I do at work in many many case - this makes doing one file a very hard task and LSBU have no help or support when I say that it doesn't link so I cannot add correct or relevant topics
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
there are lots of after work drinks or little parties throughout the year we can attend, they also do 'away days' as a team where everyone has a day off work together to do fun activities which are really good for getting to know the team and the other memeber
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
Why?
i think it is a great company to work for and you get lots of opportunities to meet new people, learn new roles and have lots of fun within the company, you get to travel all around London and go to amazing offices and places on many occasions which is great
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Unilever?
i would make sure it is something you are interested in and have a passion for as you need to love what you are doing and then make sure you do your research before the interview so you know what you are talking about so you can do very well
