Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, my original manger left the business after my third week so taking on some of his responsibilities as well as new ones with my changing team and the needs of sales directors etc. There's no shortage of responsibility.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was a fair amount of training offered however, with the specifics of the role you are required to think on your feet and learn through doing. There is a lot to learn so not everyone has the time to run through it all. Instructions were limited however, hopefully this is different now and you can thank me.

Quite relaxed and optimistic. BSH is doing well and there are lots of giveaways etc. There's also quite a few programs to get involved with - charity, competitions, coffee roulette. People are very understanding as long as you are meeting deadlines you've agreed to.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BSH to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to BSH
Think about the Brands and the initiatives. Look at home connect and other exciting innovations. You don't have love washing machines to enjoy working at BSH but you will learn a lot about the industry. There's a lot of communication involved as well as working on excel and sales systems so if you can demonstrate an aptitude towards those things then that's great.
