Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves assisting the Digital Stores managers in my team. This includes; analysing the results of promotions on Excel, analysing data across the regions to see the effects of COVID and other factors on sales and creating presentations that outline new changes to the digital landscape.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
When it comes to data analysis, there can be a lot of responsibility put on the interns. The managers we provide our results to will then present those to the leadership team, usually without doing a thorough check. So they place immense trust in our ability to do the work correctly.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My team was incredibly supportive during the placement. Especially starting work from home can be daunting as it can seem difficult to ask small and sometimes stupid questions, but the team were always happy to have a call and talk through things. I formed a really good relationship with my line manager so have felt very comfortable going to him for any sort of guidance.
