My role is working as a Customer Account Manager, where I work as the contact for my customer at Unilever. I am responsible for planning products to list in the retailer, promotions and in-store activations. As sales is all about hitting a specific turnover the environment is focused on opportunities to increase turnover and winning in the market.

I've improved in my understanding of commercial accumen, my confidence and teamwork skills. These are all key parts of being in sales.

Yes, I was responsible for an account at Unilever. If I didn't take action on the account or address an issue they were facing, no one else in the business would. I learnt to have a passion for my account as it was my responsibility.

I had a very supportive line manager who helped me develop my skills and answer questions I had. My team was great as well and they helped me become a better account manager.

A great culture, one where they are very supportive of one another, high performing as they want to succeed but also a fun environment to work in!

I really enjoyed my placement as it was a great opportunity for me to experience a corporate environment and experience the sales industry. I loved the responsibility I got and this really helped me grow in my confidence.

Do your research on the culture - specifically behaviours they look for, research what is going on in the company in terms of product launching and be yourself in the application process.
