  • 9. Would you recommend 3M UK to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I believe 3M is a very good place to work, not only do they not treat you like apprentices but it gives you such great opportunities for any future jobs.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to 3M UK?
  • The key is to be extremely confident, you need to make sure your application fits around the job role. Even if they believe the job role you are applying for isn't suited to you then could offer something different. You need to stand out.
