    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was involved in the medicalisation of online content and enhancing the representation and online presence of my brand. I designed and collaborated on new product renovations and launches. I also was involved in producing content to help sell products in national e-retailers as well as the design of tangible materials to be given to the customer and to advertise the brand I was working for.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have learnt a plethora of new skills as well as developed my existing skills. Being adaptable, open-minded and determined are just three of many that I have had the opportunity to improve at L'Oréal as the environment is quite fast-paced at times and juggling different projects at the same time is expected.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes I was given quite a bit of responsibility, I found that as the internship progressed I was being entrusted with more and more which was is encouraging. However, whilst I was given responsibility and independence during my internship, I never felt as though I couldn't ask anyone higher on my team for help or guidance if needed.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Support & Guidance

  • 7. Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal
  • Be yourself, because the chances are that the person interviewing you has also been in your position, wanting a job, and know how you feel. You don't have to pretend, the interviewer will be understanding of nerves.
