This session will be an insight into the current business climate with a focus on how emerging talent opportunities fit into this landscape.

The session will start with some content about L’Oréal as a business and an employer e.g. brands, divisions, streams of retail (just information on how the cogs in the wider picture work).

From this we will move on to how the current pandemic has affected business eg. Corporate work, distribution, hiring. Then we will move to the final section regarding emerging talent opportunities and Assessment Centre tips. For this we will cover what roles we offer, how our assessment centres run and how candidates can stand out from the crowd, put their best foot forward with any assessment and ultimately succeed in receiving a successful offer.

At the end there will be time for any questions the participants might have regarding the business or the presentation. Any students who wish to stay on the call are welcome to and can ask any questions they might have.
