Being on placement has opened my eyes to so many ways of working and has helped shape me into a well-rounded colleague with a balance of skills I\u2019m proud of. If only there was a way of using some kind of <strong>super-metaphor<\/strong> to say it all (I think you see where I\u2019m going with this \u2013 there may be Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) spoilers ahead!)\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iron Man \u2013 Leadership<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it\u2019s a heavily debated topic following <em>Captain America: Civil War<\/em>, I believe Tony Stark\u2019s Iron Man embodies a lot of what leadership can be, albeit imperfectly. Leadership skills are key when entering a placement, especially when taking ownership of projects and work. Qualities such as <strong>people management, initiative and decisiveness<\/strong> can be especially useful when collaborating with groups of peers and guiding discussions towards an aligned outcome. Personally, by working on an \u2018intern group project\u2019 as part of my placement scheme, I\u2019ve been able to exercise my leadership skills in meetings \u2013 making sure we stick to our agendas and keep momentum (it also helps to have a fantastic team!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Captain America \u2013 Communication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steve Rogers, or Captain America, is known for clear, adaptive communication skills in the MCU, especially in his interpersonal relationships. <strong>Communication on placement takes many forms<\/strong>, whether presenting in meetings, motivating a team or simply having \u2018water cooler chat\u2019 with colleagues. Placements often offer ample opportunities to develop a wide range of communication skills. During my placement year at M\u00fcller, a \u2018Development Day\u2019 session run by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growthsparktraining.co.uk\/\">Growth Spark Training<\/a> helped me understand what makes a good presentation, and how I can ensure mine are engaging and accessible. That session has been a real highlight, and I\u2019ve already been able to apply it to my own work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hulk \u2013 Innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best known for the ability to lose his temper at any given moment (not one of my six placement skills!), Bruce Banner also shows incredible innovative thinking as a scientist. He uses his prior knowledge and applies it to new concepts, reaching many breakthroughs in his filmography. <strong>Placement is a great opportunity to bring the knowledge and skills you learn during university to real-life applications<\/strong> and contribute through the unique viewpoint of a student. For example, I have been able to show innovation by sharing ideas during project work, and my voice is listened to and valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thor \u2013 Resilience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe resilience is one of the most important skills for any kind of personal development. Everybody is likely to suffer from failure or disappointment of some kind, but it\u2019s how we bounce back that defines our resilience. In <em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>, Thor fails to stop Thanos, but after taking time to admit his mistakes, he trains and fights harder. Being resilient on placement can come in many forms; for me, <strong>I\u2019ve become more patient with myself<\/strong> \u2013 giving myself grace to accept that I may not understand everything at first, and trusting that learning takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Black Widow \u2013 Problem Solving<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natasha Romanoff \u2013 better known as Black Widow &#8211; consistently demonstrates problem solving skills, especially when under pressure or with limited resources. During my placement, I\u2019ve had so many opportunities to use my own problem-solving toolkit, especially since I have a role based in the Operations department. This has perhaps been my steepest learning curve, where my approach has evolved. This is largely thanks to advice and support from my colleagues. One lesson that will stick with me from this year is when troubleshooting a problem, think first, act later \u2013 <strong>assess the situation, stay logical, then decide your strategy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hawkeye \u2013 Hitting Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the fact I find Hawkeye to be the most underwhelming of the Avengers (apologies to any die-hard Clint fans\u2026), <strong>hitting targets has been crucial during my placement year, and a real area of development in my seven months so far<\/strong>. In a food manufacturing business, hitting targets is essential \u2013 if we don\u2019t get it right, products can\u2019t be made and they can\u2019t be sold. Unlike at university, where missing a target mainly impacts you, it\u2019s eye-opening to see how it affects business productivity. Since being with M\u00fcller, I\u2019ve learned to plan proactively and track my progress, specifically through To-Do Lists.<br><br>It doesn\u2019t take a hero to thrive in the workplace, nor does it only take 6 skills, but <strong>this placement has given me countless opportunities to feel a little more super <\/strong>prior to my return to York in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are my \u201cCore 6\u201d placement skills and how my experiences have helped me develop as an individual and employee.
