Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
Skills can be taught, but how you hold yourself as a person (e.g., interacting with others), cannot be taught. So be yourself, be the b4est person you can be, this way Unilever will be more likely to hire you so you can be upskilled.
