Responsibilities
I was given full responsibility during my placement. My colleagues were interested to hear any ideas I had and encouraged me to take initiative in my role. Meanwhile, the team was always on hand to offer any support.
Support & Guidance
As there was no undergraduate before me, I did not have a handover period. Despite this, when I started, I had 1-1 sessions with all team members to learn their roles and responsibilities. Throughout my placement I received a considerable and consistent amount of support from all colleagues and felt comfortable approaching them with any queries.
Culture
Honda UK has a very welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The Honda value of 'respect for the individual' was definitely present as I felt my ideas were heard and taken on board.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at Honda UK. My job offered a wide variety of different opportunities across the business including Automobile, Power Products, Internal Communications and Sponsorship. This enabled me to interact with associates in all departments. The Communications Department which I worked within were really welcoming and friendly and supported me throughout my placement.
Yes
I would advise others to research the company in depth in advance of their interview to demonstrate their interest in the industry and company itself e.g., company values and philosophy. Also, make sure to upload a cover letter to make your application stand out. During interviews, highlight key skills and experiences which link directly to the job description.
