The Role
I enjoyed working at BASF as a market analyst as I enjoyed working in a dynamic team on a daily basis. I also had no experience in the chemical industry, this wasn't an issue as I learnt the information as I went along and felt I came out with a broad range of knowledge at the end.
Very valued, everyone was welcoming and willing to help.
My manager was great at making everyone feel equal and making me feel like a valued member of the team.
As I completed monthly reports I was always busier towards the end of the month.
I was given responsibility for my own work and trusted throughout.
I developed a number of skills I had already, but I was also given the opportunity to present in front of large groups of people.
