Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Commercial Intern - Speaking to hotel partners on a day to day basis to help them get off Stop-Sell. I make calls and shadow and network with individuals all across the department and other departments. I have to analyze hotel's performance and why they are not on our platform and try discuss and bring them back onto our platform so we can create those relationships and hopefully upsell in the future.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes and no. I would of wished the standard to be more higher and for it to be more structured in a sense that we get to do more things or have more exposure as I do see the potential in meeting other people.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I did but I wish we got to be more hands on with other tasks. Also there has been a lack of interns socials which wasn't good as the internship I thought would bring us students together and etc. More socials are needed
