At the moment, I'm in the Carelines transformation team, where our aim is to bring the carelines in each market onto one central platform which is Salesforce, whilst implementing new capabilities that will improve consumer experience. My role within the team is as project support where i've been specifically managing the transitioning of emails to the new platform, supporting the delivery of train the trainer workshops, managing the implementation of an API onto sites and the migration of historic data onto the new platform. On a day to day basis I manage these different areas.
A key skill i've developed is communication as a lot of my role relies of this. I've also developed reporting and analytic skills and have learned project management skills. I've also gained a wealth of knowledge from the areas i've been involved in.
I really appreciate the programme and what it has to offer, i'm enjoying my time here, have met some new friends :) and gained some valuable experience.
I feel very valued by Unilever to the point where I don't feel like an apprentice, i feel like just another member in the team which is strange given my age and limited experience. I'm given real work which is important to gain the most out of the programme and i'm well supported whilst doing so.
Well organised, no complaints.
Monthly reviews and can email him whenever necessary.
A lot to start with, but they give you more responsibility and freedom as you develop in your role and as they begin to trust you.
Does the job, £16,000 a year.
There are community and social opportunities outside of work which is really great to get involved with.
Yes
I've had a good experience so far and i think it'll help me with my future career whether it's at Unilever or elsewhere.
If you get to the assessment centre, just be yourself and show confidence and good team working skills.
