Responsibilities
This internship has been extremely rewarding for me because of the responsibility which I was tasked with. As an example, I was responsible for the forecast and organisation of containers sent from one of our biggest suppliers every week.
Support & Guidance
Overall, I was provided with support and guidance throughout this internship whenever I needed help. However, there was a slight gap when I first started due to a staffing/rota issue.
Culture
It was invaluable to work in an office which was not limited to just the supply chain department, colleagues took time to welcome and always chat to you. Due to the size of the company, you do not have a say on some issues which I found frustrating.
Your Impressions
As mentioned before, this placement has been invaluable, not only professionally but personally as well. I do not think I could have picked a role which would have been better suited for me, I enjoyed it throughout.
Yes
If successful, take up every opportunity that comes your way.
