Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt many new skills including using platforms to create and deploy email campaigns such as Salesforce and Content Builder. My communication and presentation skills have massively improved as the role involved liaising with international and local clients daily and presenting in meetings. I've also learned valuable creative and copywriting skills through writing promotional content and creating email design mock-ups.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was supported by my supervisors throughout the year. Any time I needed some extra help or had questions about the work, my supervisor was right there with me or just a zoom call away. The team were great at working together to solve any issues so I never felt overwhelmed or out of my depth in this role. The training I received at the start of my placement was very thorough too.
