    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • The main role of the Commercial Intern is to support the National Accounts Team. Daily, I process orders, arrange merchandising requests and ensure that pricing has been correctly set up for customers.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

    • My hard skills improved a lot as I started to use Excel and PowerPoint more frequently. However, my year at L'Oréal has also helped me to improve my soft skills such as communication, self-motivation and teamwork.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Yes! On my very first day, I was assigned a small role in a long-term project. I was gradually given more responsibility as I grew more familiar with the company's systems and my co-workers. The onus was very much on me to complete my tasks correctly and on time, as other people were relying on me to do so.
