Overview
My role consists of lots of researching and benchmarking from other automotive brands and companies. Along with a regular cadence of team meetings, I am responsible in my team for the customer journey and client validation processes, so reviewing content, gathering material for stimulus, refining propositions in line with the reseatch.
Skills
The biggest skills I have developed are public speaking and communication. Over the year, I have had to put together presentations and present to senior stakeholders in the company such as directors, which has been challenging but a great experience. I have also developed my critical thinking skills, as proposals created need to be interrogated for any potential challenges.
Responsibilities
In the programme at JLR I was placed in, I was lucky to be placed in small, high performing teams, so I was given huge amounts of responsibility, exposure to other stakeholders, and pieces of work I owned.
Support & Guidance
I have had pretty good support. I have had regular 1:1, and I was proactive in establishing relationships and mentors across the teams which have helped impart knowledge and helped me develop.
Culture
Within the two teams I have worked in, the team culture has been really welcoming and motivating as a team. I think the company culture was not as strong across the company though.
Your Impressions
I have really enjoyed my placement. I have loved the amount of responsibility I have been given, as well as seeing the impact of my work on the programme. I feel like Jaguar Land Rover has been the perfect place to set up my career and I feel well equipped to go into my final year
Yes
Focus on behaviours and attitudes, and what you want to gain from the placement within your application. For early careers, recruitment are more concerned with these aspects rather than previous experience.
