Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In my role as RFP Sales Support at Hilton, I helped manage the RFP process for corporate and group business. Day to day, I reviewed incoming RFPs, worked with sales teams and hotels to gather info, and made sure proposals were submitted on time and accurately. I also kept everything organised, tracked deadlines, and made sure responses reflected Hilton’s standards and goals.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was trusted with managing multiple RFPs at once and making sure everything was accurate and submitted on time. I was also the main point of contact for certain tasks, which made me feel like a real part of the team and gave me a good sense of ownership.
