Internship Review at Nestlé

The Role

Role Description

Although my Internship was titles Sales Intern, I quickly found that my role was not the stereotypical "sales" role.

I worked on the xmas reporting side of the sales team. My project was to form league tables and a points scoring system for the Nestle sales reps. My project has gone live and is being used by Nestle, which is mad to think considering they are multi billion pound business!

There is a very "fun" side of the Nestle Internship, for example I have been on a xmas conference/party in the middle of july, xmas trees and elves, the works, aswell as, learning how to make KitKats.

There has been greatresponsibilty also, business meetings with senior figures and business trips away.

I recieved great traing on prsenting and selling skills that have been really useful.

Overall, a great internship!
