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

    • I have really enjoyed my placement. I have been given lots of responsibility and accountability on my own projects and have been given lots of exposure throughout the year. It has been stressful at times but i have a very understanding and supporting team.

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

    • For the first couple months of my placement, I found myself sitting around with nothing to do - i definitely couldn't say that now! I am now extremely busy and sometimes find I don't have enough hours in a day!

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

    • I have built up such a valuable skill set since working at L'Oréal which will only develop and improve further in future jobs. All skills and training were very development for the workplace and will never be forgotten.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very good - even before applying for internship I had already researched their management trainee scheme. They are really looking to employ people for the long run.We are able to apply for the grad scheme and are given an answer before we finish our placement.
