Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I was creating marketing emails for our members as well as posts on Instagram, targeted ads on social media, customers service, writing articles, and I was finding influencers on Instagram for our collaborations. After my Placement I stayed for a part-time position with Marketing, but in March 2022 I was transferred to the Finance department, where I did journal and bank postings, bank reconciliations and some charity paperwork.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes! I was fully responsible for our CIS Instagram account and marketing emails right from the start! My manager was checking what I was doing in the first month or two, but after that I was doing everything on my own, especially day-to-day responsibilities.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Of course! It was my first proper job, so everything was so new for me, I don't even know where to start! However, I would say the main skill I developed was time management and following strict deadlines.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of support from my day 1. The first week was full of training and learning about how the company works and the competitors. My manager was very patient with me and she answered any questions I had. My teammates not only supported me, but they became my friends for life!

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

My Placement Year was online, so it was hard to tell. However, when I started going to the office, I saw how friendly everyone is. I could have a general conversation with anyone in the company, including the co-founders. The atmosphere is very chilled.
