    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I have enjoyed working in my team at L'Oreal, as everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The hours aren't too challenging. But I don't think I've felt as motivated as I could in the work environment.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • In my original role I didn't feel like I was making much of a difference, or that I created work that was valued. I then had to cover a higher up role for about 7 weeks- in this time I felt more valued. Some people were more supportive than others.

    3/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was great, couldn't of asked for a better one. We had weekly catch ups and she was always on hand for any questions I had.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It went up and down- at the start I wasn't very busy, but when I was covering another role I was quite busy. Towards the end of my placement I haven't had much to do.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I have received quite a lot of responsibility, especially when covering a higher up role during the middle of my placement. `

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • If I go into a supply planning role I will already have quite a good understanding of the concepts and tasks surrounding the job.

    4/5

    • Very relaxed and chilled. Most people are very friendly.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Quite organised, but there were periods where more communication needed to happen when I was covering a different role.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There are lots of training sessions that are available. They really push you to go to training and development sessions
