Overview
Assisted team in ideation, conduct, and analysis of primary research projects, as well as analysis of secondary research sources. Findings would often be synthesised into PowerPoint decks and presented back to key stakeholders
Skills
Absolutely, key skills that I’ve developed would be my analytical, organisational, time management, and presentation skills, as well as soft skills like stakeholder management.
Responsibilities
Yes absolutely, I wasn’t made to feel like an intern, and was involved in so much more than I could’ve imagined.
Support & Guidance
I had weekly catch-ups with my line managers, as well as regular contact with the intern development team. I also felt that I could speak to members of my team if I needed advice or additional support.
Culture
The people that I’ve met were amazing, and I had a really supportive team. However, one thing to note is that the culture and atmosphere at work unfortunately took a hit due to the restructure and redundancies, which massively affected my team. Many of the people I knew have left the company, so with all this change I cannot comment on the current atmosphere and culture
Your Impressions
It was a fantastic experience, I honestly had so much fun, especially with such a large intern program in my year, and I learned so much, through both good and bad experiences
Yes
Show your passion for your work, the fitness industry, community, and as cliche as it is, generally be yourself
