Does P&G offer a wide variety of roles?
I'm leaning towards HR though I am open to internships that let me do a variety of things.

KarmaKitten are you doing HR now at uni? If so, how is it, cause I'm thinking of picking it up next semester.

I don't do HR at all! However oddly enough I work part time in HR at an NGO which has definitely sparked my interest.

But I do know a number of people that do HR at usyd and they say its pretty good.

Yeah they do. HR internships are also available. You can apply for any role regardless of your degree. An Arts student was doing the marketing research role for his internship. He got to go to singapore

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

I want a HR internship so badly
Got my mark back for the industrial relations assignment... 27/40
I seriously was expecting a fail, left it to the last minute

I know aye. HR is surprisingly very competitive. I'm always meeting HR students and they're always moaning about it.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

HR is a mostly unrewarding and underappreciated profession

still better than accounting

all the above, plus leadership and the quality of being data driven.
