    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • No day would look the same within the role at Unilever and I think that's the best part about it - You get to experience different facets of the business and it keep you on your toes. To give an overview, I support my team in driving overall Homecare Digital Commerce performance - this could be mean supporting with analysis; driving important digital shelf KPIs and delivering financial reports etc.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • This opportunity has helped me expand my skill sets immensely - If I have to specifically talk about one skill that would be my analytical skills. As a CD intern, you work with lots of data and excel and also how you present that data to get the most efficiency out of it. I have been able to improve my critical thinking in terms of how to analyse the data and deliver actionable insights from it.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Absolutely - I think the pace at which I was given responsibility was great. At the start of my placement, I was given enough time to take in things and understand how the business works and I was assured as I learnt things I would be handed more responsibility. Throughout my time, I was always challenged to take initiative to drive results, rather than just supporting. I think that was the best part about my placement as it helped me improve my confidence and learn a lot more.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
