Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working on a project in the In-store bakery department. I have meetings with my line manager and other members around the business and suppliers to help with my project, which consists of looking at Tesco Express stores. I work daily on my project, incorporating new ideas I have learnt throughout the day.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given meaningful tasks to carry out and was trusted to do my own reports on my own. I was involved in other projects with other interns and went on store visits with suppliers where I would get information for my project, which I would present to my line manager.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received lots of support and guidance throughout from all members of my team, my line manager. I had weekly team meetings and would check in with my manager everyday.
