    Support & Guidance

Aside from that my manager helped direct me to places where I could develop my knowledge, like excel skills.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Johnson & Johnson

    • To apply even if you don't feel you have the skills, then place more emphasis on you as a person as long as they believe they can train you up to be able to do the role. Also to get involved in many other things other than the role to make the most out of it, there are plenty of opportunities for any interests
