Overview
Reviewing design proposals鈥攔anging from furniture and carpet designs to sourcing new product replacements鈥攎eans that no two days are the same when interning with Hilton. One day I might be on-site, and the next, working from the comfort of my home. My line manager is approachable, and I was trusted to work directly with designers, suppliers, and hotels to develop new design schemes for properties across England and Europe. A significant part of my placement also involved creating presentation materials to recap each quarter. I felt honored to be entrusted with such important documents, which also allowed me to hone my graphic design skills.
Skills
I鈥檝e absolutely honed my interior design skills鈥攍earning to make design decisions more quickly while balancing aesthetics with functionality, and gaining a solid understanding of hotel standards. I also adapted to working in a professional corporate environment and deepened my knowledge of the hospitality business. Through presentation work, I expanded my graphic design skills as well. This placement taught me how to adapt quickly, work under pressure, and manage my time effectively. Since much of the work was remote, I was responsible for managing my own calendar鈥攃hoosing whether to work from home, the office, or on-site.
Responsibilities
Yes, I gained a lot more than I anticipated, as I was always open to new or additional tasks to broaden my horizons. It was always up to me to accept a task or not鈥攎y manager and colleagues would check with me first to see if I had the capacity to take it on.
Support & Guidance
It was just the right amount of support鈥攖hey were always there to answer questions and offer guidance, while still allowing me to experiment and find my own way.
Culture
Positive and uplifting.

Yes
Firstly, having a can-do attitude is crucial鈥攖here鈥檚 always something we can do to support the team. The more tasks you take on, the more you鈥檒l learn from the internship experience. Secondly, don鈥檛 be afraid to work beyond regular hours when needed. Taking on extra responsibilities and completing them well builds trust, and in return, you鈥檒l be given more meaningful work. That鈥檚 where real growth happens.
