    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role involves many different things, no day is the same! My main focus at the moment is working on our Future Careers attraction strategy. This essentially means that I manage how our programmes (Graduate, Placement and Apprenticeship Scheme) are advertised, whether this be through social media, job boards, outreach events and even our website. Along side attraction I also over see the teams finance which is also a big part of my role.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have learnt so many new skills whilst being on placement at Unilever (both hard and soft skills). I have built not only my self- confidence but also my team working skills, my listening skills, my communication skills, resilience, critical thinking, leadership and time management skills - all of which are crucial for my role.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given responsibly from day one with so many opportunities being offered to me when it came to getting involved in different projects. I have even been able to run some of my own with little help from my Line Manager (she was always there to support where needed though!)
