Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As part of the Centre of Excellence team, we support hotel commercial team members by providing the resources they need to navigate the enquiry process effectively. With a team of five managers, I frequently handle a variety of projects focused on enhancing the experiences of both customers and team members. These projects can range in duration from a week to the full length of my placement. My role is dynamic and diverse, with each day bringing new projects and tasks, ensuring that no two days are ever the same.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, plenty. For instance, I was trusted with leading an EMEA-wide competition. This involved overseeing submissions, marking and providing feedback to all participants, and shortlisting the top three candidates based on performance. Additionally, I managed email communications for numerous trainings and events, including sending pre & post comms to groups of up to 100 attendees at a time.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Being in a unique position where I handled tasks assigned by five managers, often simultaneously, I gained valuable experience in multitasking across multiple projects and meeting deadlines. Working within a culturally diverse team also provided me with insights into the impact of cultural differences within a team and emphasized the importance of being culturally aware—a perspective I hadn't fully appreciated before joining Hilton.
