Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As the TSEE intern I take on a variety of roles including upkeep of the employee training programs, working on projects as they come up, and administrative support. A huge part of the role is the ad-hoc tasks that arise over the year. No day is the same and I'm never bored.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of responsibility over the course of my placement, but never anything that I wasn't comfortable with or prepared for. As time went on and I grew in confidence and competence, I was given more to work on. I always felt that the work I was doing was valuable and working towards something important.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learned loads of new skills, particularly around my IT ad project planning skills. I am now familiar with and confident in using software such as Workday Learning, Teams, Zoom and many more. As a result of my experience I also feel confident in my abilities to effectively plan and execute a project. Many of my existing skills have been improved too, such as my confidence and presentation skills.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Warner Bros. Discovery to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Warner Bros. Discovery
If your initial application gets through, then the company already probably already knows that you have the relevant skills required. I think employers want to see who you are; What makes you tick? Are you passionate? And most importantly, can they see you fitting in and getting on well in their team? Be yourself. You have to get a lot across to them in your video interview and you assessment day.
