graphic design - assisting in production of marketing materials, socials, video on demand materials, mix of digital and print video editing - audio visual social assets, (not main task but) opportunity to edit promos/trailers Involvement in production workflow- understanding what is quality, what is needed for on-air, assistance in small areas such as pulling videos to help the team check them

adobe software skills- photoshop, illustrator, premiere pro, after effects. Both developed existing and learnt more. production coordination and communication- deepened corporate and production-related communication skills. Learned to stretch creative ideas that align with our resources, timelines and brand needs. Sounds minor, but really corporate communication and presentation- presentation skills, understanding of how to communicate what is needed to different teams

I would say more than I expected in some areas while others were at a learning, touch-base level. Creatively, I was very involved with our social pages essentially creating and ideating posts from scratch. I had a good mentor who would share with me the process to other marketing materials that I may not work directly on. Occasionally I would be given some heavier creative pieces to work on under guidance that had larger impact. I would say I was also involved with a charity project team called MillionMakers which enabled me to be responsible for more projects and up-front work. I felt really empowered on both sides.

Loads. Both from my managers, the internship career guidance team, other mentors thanks to other employee resource groups I was involved in. Support came in the form of intern specific support- career, soft skills, bonding and having people to rely on. As well as skill wise- for me lots of support on practical skills, shortcuts and methods I could do to improve my work + develop my creative/visual eye. Not only are the people who I worked with directly very nurturing in, others you meet in the company are generally very supportive and willing to assist/network.

I have genuinely only had a positive experience in this company. I know it sounds crazy and I was waiting for the catch too haha. But whether if it was in my team, the charity team I was part of and employee resource groups I was involved in, people were genuine and always seemed to have your and the project's best interests. Yes there are disagreements and what not, but I feel like this environment holds people who know how to manage them maturely and just genuinely and still produce quality.

I think this is genuinely one of the best possible places you could have a placement year at as a creative in a corporate environment. It hit the spot in all areas - developmentally, workload wise, opportunities, networking, and culturally- there is a fairly international environment; likely more than you would get elsewhere. Reminder that no place is perfect, but this place is really up there on the very good end.

Yes

1. Pack your CV with truthful keywords. Whatever is in your job description, try and match accordingly to what you have done (e.g. "Created social media posts" vs "Produced social assets". Same thing, stronger keywords 2. be genuine in your interviews- don't overuse AI on cover letters/CVs/interviews, anything, they can tell and it doesn't help your case. Truthful language > professional-sounding. They know you're a student/fresh grad, so make your case in a genuine manner with that angle 3. practice!! Especially for video interviews. Yes it helps to know things like the STAR method. But point 3 is nothing without point 2!
