Overview
As an Intern in Global Distribuiton, the day-to-day varies constantly, depending of the priorities of the business, there are weeks where my focus is on preparing material for webinars or presentation, other weeks where I work with external clients to create Marketing campaigns and days where I focus on creating reports for the senior leadership of the department and other departments.
Skills
My organizational skills have improved exponentially as there is a lot of activities I overlook and participate in, my communications skills (Written and spoken), my presentation creation skills and reporting skills have been developed a lot. Additionally, other skills such as networking, strategic thinking, teamwork and adaptability have been improved.
Responsibilities
From the start of my placement I was thrown into the deep end of the business, which personally think is the best way of learning a new job, by doing stuff. I have owned and co-owned various projects and weekly tasks that need to be carried out. This has come from the trust of my superiors as well as my proactiveness to want to engage and carry responsability during my placement year.
Support & Guidance
In any instance where I needed guidance I was provided with it by any members of the team. The best guidance has come through constructive feedback and has enabled me to improve on what to do better. Everyone in the workplace has always been open to give me support and guidance when needed, sometimes without even asking.
Culture
Hilton was voted as #1 best place to work in the world for a reason. The company culture is open and diverse, I have had instances where I want to learn specific things about other departments and they have always made time for me. The company also puts on various social events that helps with the engagement and networking of the wider company.
Your Impressions
My placement has been a real eye-opener to see what I can achieve and how valuable my work can be, even in a big and recognized company like Hilton. I have enjoyed every day of it, the people in and outside my team are great, I feel like my work has an impact and I feel like I am valued.
Yes
I would suggest to be open with the roles you apply to, you do not have to be an expert in a certain thing or knowledgeable in the industry, as long as you have transferable skills and the right attitude there are many different things you could do.
