Overview of Role

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

As a HR Generalist Intern, everyday was different. My tasks included delivering inductions to new starters, taking responsibilty for the end-to-end recruitment for manufacturing operatives (e.g. advertising roles, reviewing CV’s, arranging interviews, preparing contracts/offer letters, onbaording), managing internal and external HR enquires via emails, phone and walk-ins, note taking in ER cases, various admin tasks and reporting and adhoc projects.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Responsibilty is given to you straight away, which I loved. I was responsible for organising and delivering inductions, I had my own area of recruitment (manufacturing, dispensary and the next intake of interns) and adhoc projects. The team are very supportive so you could ask for more/less responsibility when required.

Skills Development

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

I gained an excellent foundation of HR knowledge throughout my placement. It was great to put theory from my HR degree into practice. My time at C&D helped gain my current role as a HR Administrator which enables me to secure 2 years of HR experience by the time I graduate. This puts me in a great position for grad roles.

Support and Guidance

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

A lot! I asked questions everyday, all of the team were very helpful. The manager has an open door policy so I would ask for help as and when required.
