It owns brands such as Magnum, Lynx, Ben &amp; Jerry\u2019s and Simple. I had two 6 month roles: one as a project process analyst and another as a demand planner for PG Tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I enjoyed having responsibility to lead projects which had a tangible impact on the business. It was also great to experience working a job full time and working in two great teams of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/thrive-cascade.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/thrive-cascade.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/thrive-cascade.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/thrive-cascade.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started my placement year confidently, but a skill that I really refined is speaking to people of varying ages and backgrounds. This can be tough at first, but when you start to find common ground it gets much easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main thing I learned is that it\u2019s okay to ask for help. No one will think any less of you for doing so, especially if the company has a collaborative culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My most memorable moment was my end of year presentation. It was a great opportunity to showcase everything I\u2019d been working on for the year to managers and directors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career insight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doing a placement gives you a great insight in to what you do and don\u2019t enjoy about working and where your real interests lie. It&#8217;s a great asset for choosing your career and helps you find a grad role that&#8217;s suited to you.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to secure a graduate job at a top company, a placement can help you stand out.
