Channel CRM Marketing Intern Review

I think my year at HP has been great, I was able to develop & learn new skills. I was also able to identify my weak points and areas of improvement to make a better candidate for future positions.

I have integrated well with the team. Very welcoming and a friendly team, throughout my placement year I have never felt as an "intern" or "placement student". So this enabled me to enjoy my placement and get the most out of it.

The management team which I work for is great, we have a great level of communication and I regularly ask for advice and feel they can give me great help. It's pretty much an "open door office" atmosphere which makes it easier to communicate with management without feeling that I am wasting their time. Aswell as this the guidance they provided me throughout the year, and the opportunities they allowed me to take on re-enforces their support and guidance.

It was a very good balance between the both, as a sales support a lot of my work would come in the final 2 weeks of the month, and that would be very busy, however in the first 2 weeks it was a lot more relaxed and I would be able to catch up on emails,re-organise and prepare things for month end's

I feel that I was given a fair amount of responsibility, throughout my year I always shown that I could be trusted. Given a good balance of working independently and team work would show a good level of trust and belief that I would be able to continue to my work without having to be shadowed all time.

I have learned a number of skills which I will be able to take with me for final year, and for future business careers. I learned some weaknesses which I never thought I had and managed to turn some of my weaknesses into strengths..

Everyone was busy in their own work. But if you need some help from them, then they were always ready to help you.

There is alot of background work which many people don't see, in planning the whole year, welcoming the new interns and making sure they are stable within the first month.

I was able to take on a number of courses, attend a number of workshops, and take a chance to visit customer sites on some of the projects. This enabled me to feel how it's all done from the beginning of a sale and the delivery of that project.

Very challenging organisation however not many opportunities to move up in the hierarchy.

very month there is an intern night out which is planned by the committee, this enables to keep in touch with everyone and have a great time. And during the weekends a number of people meet up aswell.

As I lived at home, without paying rent I had a lot more money to spend.

The nightlife was okay. There were some nice restaurants and some pubs.

Volunteering is encouraged but not many opportunities as of yet.
