Overview
I help the product managers of tablet, smartwatch, audio, PC and memory oversee the product lifecycle of their new devices. This includes sales, marketing, promotions etc. I helped setup the products for key accounts, track sales and present new product information to accounts. I also was responsible for carrying out processes for moving money around the business (for promotions), tracking product pricing across retailers and approving PDPs for e-store. As well as ad-hoc requests.
Skills
I have learnt more Excel skills than I had as well as presenting skills. My communication skills have also improved immensely.
Responsibilities
Yes, much much more than expected. There was real accountability on what I was responsible for. If I didn't do my role it would have affected the business more than I would've thought before joining.
Support & Guidance
Lots of support from my manager, team, mentor, 'buddy', other placements and other people I met in the business.
Culture
Very fast paced, quite hectic. But this is what I believe it takes to remain on top as a company. I enjoyed the ruthlessness of it and there was always support if it got too much.
Your Impressions
Highly enjoyed. Much more than expected.
Yes
Ask questions. Put yourself out there. Don't be shy. Push yourself, you're capable of more than you think.
