  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to CooperVision
  • They hire very few interns so don't be disappointed if they don't hire you. If they do hire you, congratulations, you are one of the chose 10 interns handpicked by them. You'll be interviewed directly by your line manager so be as friendly and enthusiastic as you can. Ask loads of questions and be well prepared with everything that you learned in Uni.
