    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • No 2 days are the same. Everyday I mix with people from all over the world on a range of tasks. Sometimes this is more mundane such as excel tasks but other times it is pioneering work that hasnt been done before in Unilever or by any other company globally. HR is super varied and especially in such a large company such as Unilever.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • YES! So much responsibility and from the start, whilst this seemed daunting to start with it was a great experience. I've taken a few projects from conception all the way to delivery which is a really exciting thing to be able to say as an intern in such a large corporation such as Unilever. Also given responsibility in terms of taking charge of personal development with new projects outside usual role.
