Overview
I worked as a planner in the Unilever Supply Chain. In this role, I was responsible for a range of operational and analytical tasks. On a day-to-day basis, I ran weekly and monthly performance reports to support team insights and decision-making. I coordinated the storage and transportation of stock using Excel and stock management systems. Additionally, I created design briefs to support customer-specific packaging requirements.
Skills
While on placement, my ability to communicate with my team members, to constructively collaborate with others, to manage my time, and to pick up small details has massively improved. In addition, I have been added new skills to my arsenal, such as manipulating software programs like SAP and Excel.
Responsibilities
I was given a high degree of responsibility from the beginning, managing vital operations.
Support & Guidance
I received constructive guidance and support, however it was focused largely on the specific role and less on my own career path.
Culture
The company culture was enjoyable, with many events to attend and a caring culture.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed placement, as it provided a distinct change from my university experience, teaching me a lot about working life.
Yes
Be open to trying different areas of the business, and learn as much as you can about the company.
