Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an E-Commerce Intern, my role involved submitting weekly sales data from our online retailers to a universal system to allow for for accurate and precise sales reporting. Throughout the during on my internship tracked and analysed sales figures, assisted in promotions as well as the launch of new products. Being based in the E-Commerce area, I had the opportunity to work with and support all of the brands across the division.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Definitely! - Looking back over the course of the year, the responsibility of the workload definitely increased. You are given a range of opportunities to take on responsibility, but are also presented with the support along the way.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
This is an area of my placement i was most impressed with. The general feeling within my role in particular was that your colleagues around you were there to help you. Most people themselves remember their first working experiences so are more than happy to lend a hand where necessary. From a company wide point of view - the support and resources provided to employees to further develop their working and personal lives is admirable.
