    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility and a lot of trust. I created the strategy for Samsung KX Events which is a flagship store based in Kings Cross. I never imagined I would’ve been trusted enough to be able to do that but my team really believed in developing my skills & I’m so grateful for that experience

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • It’s such a diverse and inclusive company. Since Samsung is a Korean company there is so much Korean influence such as having a Korean or Western option in the office canteen. It is a very fast paced atmosphere but it also quite laid back & not what I expected it to be, it’s not as corporate as you would imagine

  • I absolutely LOVED my placement. It was so much fun, I was able to experience so many different events & develop so many skills as part of it. I built such good friendships with the placements around me but also my team. I would definitely recommend
