Overview
I worked hybrid both in the lab and in the office allowing me to work from home a few days a week. Day-to-day I would formulate skincare products and run them on analytically testing for data collection. I used this data to create correlations from past data collected. I also worked on priority case as projects would come into my team needing fast turn arounds. This could include formulating products I was as familiar with
Skills
Yes I have developed many skills. I have developed technical skills in the lab, while also getting to develop business skills including: communicating with people from different geography's, fast-thinking skills to ensure targets are met in a timely manner, and time-management/ priority skills understanding what I need to complete in my workload first.
Responsibilities
Yes, after being in the company a couple months and growing relationships with my team I was given multiple projects to lead within my placement allowing me to develop leadership skills.
Support & Guidance
I had weekly meetings with my manager for us to discuss my work load and any questions I had, however I could reach out to her whenever I needed I didn't have to wait for these calls.
Culture
My team was amazing at organising out of work socials. We had many a meals out and activities such as go karting, escape rooms and bowling.
Your Impressions
I loved my placement and would relish the opportunity to come back as a graduate.
Yes
Be yourself, listen to others and ask as many questions as you can. Use this experience to learn what you do and don't like about business to help you carve out what you want to do after graduating.
