Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily tasks can be varied due to the nature of my role. I generally am enrolled into projects which I will produce various pieces of content for, for example, social media campaigns, case studies, landing pages for events and more. I will work with various stakeholders internally and externally on calls to collect information, co-ordinate what key information we need to highlight and the ways we will distribute the content. I will often be put on meetings to discuss this too.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given the power to co-ordinate projects by myself with access to regular support from my managers and team members. I was also given opportunities to share my opinions in some strategic decisions being made

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my time, I found it difficult to adjust to the number of global employees and struggled to get my head around the size of the organisation. Once I was able to adjust, I found it really rewarding exploring opportunities to collaborate with as many people as possible.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cummins to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cummins
Take time to ask questions, and don't be afraid to speak up if you have a conflicting opinion or view. Seek as many opportunities as you feel you can manage, but also don't be afraid to turn people away if they come to you, and you have too much to do.
