Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As previously mentioned, I am independently supporting sales executives with their requests on a daily basis. Overall, the placement comes with a lot of responsibility but I never felt not supported or guided by my managers.
I believe having constant communication with my line manager eased out the pressure, if any, that I might have faced during my cyclical tasks or even individual projects.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have become very proficient in MS Office tools like Excel, PowerPoint & Word due to very regular usage.
Some new tools I learnt about during the placement are Salesforce, Power BI, Visio, SharePoint etc.
I also had multiple opportunities to develop communication skills through projects I worked on. MS Office and Teams is something I use daily and hence can navigate around this quite easily now.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cummins to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cummins
To anyone new applying, I would suggest applying with an open mindset without the fear of being judged. The people here are very accepting of differences and embrace them beautifully.
I would also recommend looking at the vast history of the company spanning over a 100 years, just so you can understand how the company has evolved over the years.
