    The Role

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

    • I have had a great time working at L'Oreal and it has given me a great insight into the Beauty Industry. As an intern you are a valued member of the team and are given a real role within the business. I could definitely see myself working here in the future.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very valued by my colleagues, particularly my manager and other members of the team.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was very supportive throughout my time at L'Oreal and we would have weekly meetings to check I was on track with my work and prioritise any new projects.

    • It could vary day to day, however there wasnt a day where I sat there twiddling my thumbs and always had something to do

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • As the time went on I was given more and more responsibility and felt trusted by my manager to take control which was a good feeling

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learnt a lot about prioritisation which will help a lot in Uni and general life.

    4/5
