I have been given huge amounts of responsibility - more than I had expected. The fact that I get to have commercial conversations with buyers at Tesco, on my own, with no supervision is a huge amount of responsibility that I would never have imagined.

I have learnt negotiation skills and how to handle commercial conversations with buyers. I have enhanced my presentation skills significantly by presenting within my team but also through the Unilever Future Leaders League where I presented on stage in front of about 30 people. I have also improved my business acumen and understand more about the FMCG industry and how Unilever operates.

I have had huge amounts of support and guidance from the future careers team at Unilever and also from my line manager and wider team. I would not be where I am today without their support. I love how supportive the culture is at Unilever.

The company culture is extremely supportive. I feel everyone wants me to be my best and encourages me to be the best version of myself. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help out. I also love the social aspects of the culture. We often have fun events both during and after the work day to get departments together, facilitate networking and have a good time with colleagues.

I have really enjoyed my placement and would recommend a placement at Unilever to all students. There is such a wide variety of opportunities available within different functions and you get real business experience and lots of responsibility.
There is such a large community of future career employees which means there are other students to support you and make friends with. I have made some lovely friends as a result of working at Unilever.
