What people say about this event
It allowed me to show that I’d done the Internship Experience, I’d learnt various different things and developed myself personally and in a career perspective but then also tuck the things I learnt from the Internship Experience and then built on them further.
Internship Experience UK introduced me to the senior sales director at P&G and within his talk, I was able to directly ask him questions about the application process. He gave us really useful specific P&G interview tips and tricks and funnily enough in my interview for my role it was actually the senior sales director who conducted it.
