At this event, I learned about career and internship opportunities available through the company. The event was more tailored to juniors and seniors but it was a good way for me to get my feet wet and learn about what kind of jobs there are available after college. I think it would be awesome to intern for L’Oréal and definitely want to consider that in the future. Also, while there, I learned about a program that I could participate in when I am older that once completed allows you to become a manager right away. They have so many opportunities and I am glad I had the chance to go to something like this.
