    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Working for L'Oréál Professionnel in the Indirect Marketing team I was able to network with our wholesale partners and provide them with a variety of digital assets. This included the creation of Instagram tiles, web banners, CRM, and website audits looking at the UX.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Yes. Throughout the internship, you are consistently developing and learning. Skills such as communication and organisational skills are important. You are also required to work independently; this gives you an opportunity to learn new skills and go on training courses which include Excel, Powerpoint, and Netbase. This role also allowed me to perfect my Photoshop skills.

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I enjoyed my placement and it was a great opportunity that I was able to secure. There is a good balance between fun and work within the team and culture.

  • Be yourself and embrace your individuality. L'Oréal is striving to be even more inclusive than they already are so it will be recognised. Show a willingness to learn and be open and honest with your manager/team as this will allow them to offer help when needed and guide you so that you make the most of this great opportunity. Finally network, network & network some more!
