Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I supported the EMEA recruitment teams with content creation, including social media graphics, video editing, and branded templates. I helped plan and deliver recruitment campaigns, wrote blog content, updated the CMS, and contributed to hotel opening promotions. I also supported CRM tasks and internal communications. My day-to-day varied, offering exposure to both creative and strategic projects, while collaborating with teams across regions and functions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility. I had my own projects to manage, supported decision-making with the department lead, and even stepped up to run the sub-department while my manager was off sick for an extended period. It pushed me out of my comfort zone but helped me grow a lot.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I developed creative skills in graphic design, video editing, and content writing, using tools like Canva. I strengthened my communication and project management skills by collaborating with regional teams and meeting deadlines. I also gained experience with CMS platforms, CRM systems. My confidence grew in presenting ideas and adapting to fast-paced environments, helping me become more proactive, organised, and commercially aware in a corporate setting.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture at Hilton was really supportive and inclusive. There were regular team days, active resource groups, and a strong focus on community through the Travel with Purpose initiatives. Everyone was always willing to help, and there was a big emphasis on personal growth and well-being. The Go Hilton travel benefit was a huge plus, everyone encouraged making the most of it, which really added to the positive, people-first atmosphere.
