    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Some days were quieter than others but I would never have nothing to do and as long as you ask for work someone will find something for you to do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A fair amount of responsibility going on viewings and sitting in on meetings but as a lot of their work is confidential I couldn't be given as much responsibility as I would like.

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing and I am very much hoping for a grad offer at the end of the internship. How many interns they take on is unknown however so it is difficult to know what your chances are although at the beginning they do emphasise that this is a process which they aim to take grads on from.
