Sample Resume Kroger Delta Division Summer Internship...

I. Overview and Experience Prior to my participation in the Kroger Delta Division Summer Internship Program I had very little knowledge of the grocery store or retail business environment and all of the moving parts that are necessary to produce a successful company. In addition, I had very little applicable work experience due to being a student- athlete competing in a year round sport. Participating in this internship allowed me to get an up close look at what the retail business entails and how to execute company, division, and department goals and sales plans to over 100 divisional stores and ensure that all of the store employees understand the scope of the business. By completing this internship, I now have a greater understanding and appreciation for the retail environment and can more effectively apply the knowledge I have gained in my undergraduate studies to a real work environment and my graduate level studies. Over the course of the past ten weeks I have gained a vast amount of knowledge and have had the opportunity to grow my business knowledge with one of the nation’s most well respected companies. Although my time with the Kroger Company has been brief, the experiences I have gained are invaluable to growth of my career path in business. Through the internship program I have been able to gain an understanding of both day to day operations of an individual store and the big picture of division operations in the Delta office.
