As part of my degree’s integral Year Abroad, I secured a ten-month internship in E-commerce with Spain's first supermarket comparison site. Within the company's Operations Team I was responsible for: • data entry, handling and categorisation of all new products on the company’s online database • researching products and brands to assign further attribution and product descriptors where required • translating documents, emails and e-shop content from Spanish into English and Portuguese. This internship provided me with an invaluable introduction to the world of digital business, marketing and commerce and enormously improved my Spanish vocabulary and language skills. Show less
