    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given high levels of responsibility from my first day at L'Oreal by taking over a product launch from the previous intern. Although I was offered help and guidance from my line manager, I had take the lead. As my time at L'Oreal progressed I was given more responsibility by completing harder tasks to now where I will own a project from start to finish without the help of my manager.
