Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Commercial Intern I reported directly into the National Account Manager and assist them with daily tasks. I completed Sell Our reports, communicated with pharmacies, created product asset packs and managed the windows artwork process.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
You are given a lot of responsibility as an intern in L'Oreal. I had complete ownership over several projects, you have freedom to try new methods of doing things. Your manager is there to guide and support you but you do the majority of your work independently.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
