“My internship at Tesco was more than I could have expected – All the staff were particularly helpful and friendly, and I gained a larger insight into the workings of a multi-national corporation than I could ever have imagined. I was given some real responsibility and was allowed to really manage my time and workload by myself, but all the while knowing that I was being supported and guided by my Manager”
