Overview
Role comprised of assisting line manager with raw data formatting on excel, as well as deriving insight of the commercial week-on-week trends - sometimes some market analysis. Would attend meetings with management team on various agendas and KPIs to achieve on a weekly basis. Would shadow partnership meetings and pricing consultations for the company's services/products.
Skills
I have learnt basic excel skills, intermediate powerpoint skills, awareness of salesforce navigation. In terms of communicating in a workplace, my skills have developed greatly as I have realised a more efficient and relevant means by which to engage with colleagues.
Responsibilities
I established a reasonable amount of respect with my peers, which enabled me to be assigned tasks with various responsibilities. One example was filling in for manager when he was off and creating a WoW KPI report, as well as a company-wide presentation.
Support & Guidance
My manager was very laissez-faire. However, if I had any problems he would assist me very quickly. As for the internship organisers, they were thorough and very organised in detailing the outlines of the program/timetable etc.
Culture
Local Heroes was a most enjoyable workplace with a profoundly positive culture. Coffee offers, food shares, after-work drinks - all are examples of the type of culture in LH.
Your Impressions
Greatly enjoyed my time here. Met a lot of people and established professional networks across the company. However, teams meetings were sometimes incredibly dull. Also Workday was appalling to use.
Yes
Be open and affable. Try and emphasise how you would fit in to the wonderful community of employees
