    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • When the team you work in trusts you, it gives you a huge degree of independence. I was able to manage paid social campaigns independently from beginning to end with the trust of my manager/ team to complete it to a high standard. You also get as much freedom as you would like as the team will give you as much responsibility as you show you are capable to handle

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Support & Guidance

    • When you gain confidence, you get as much support as you need. I felt like i could ask any question, no matter how stupid, and it was always received kindly. Sometimes the work load was a lot however, if you are transparent about this, management do what they can to alleviate the stress

    • As it is a huge company and there are lots of applications, i believe that it is luck whether or not you get the position. You should feel empowered to apply as no matter what degree you do, anyone can work here. Expect a significant work load however, your team wouldn't give you that much if you couldn't handle it!
