    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Given a range of interesting tasks to do and received genuine gratitude for my efforts. I was invited to meetings and visits whenever possible to give me practical experience.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The team supported me in every sense; made me feel welcome and gave me responsibility to complete tasks independently as well as offering guidance along the way. Very good support and willingness to provide references in preparation for interviews.

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

    • Relatively busy. The team did their best to give me a range of tasks and always explained what I was required to do. The summer scheme organisers gave us a project to work on throughout the programme which filled my time otherwise.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a lot of responsibility towards the end of the internship where I attended site inspections on my own and I guided a viewing of some office space independently.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The internship has provided me with industry insight and experience to apply some of the theory I am learning during my studies.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Positive atmosphere and close knit teams creating a welcoming environment.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Great organisation from the start to finish. Inductions were thorough and enjoyable, the team knew about me before I got there and had communicated with me in advance, lots of socials were organised and we were in constant contact with the HR team throughout the process should we be facing any difficulties.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • We were given training about the firm for the first day then a more specific Real Estate induction training session on the second day. My supervisor always taught me about how the things I was doing related to my studies so I felt like I was developing myself on the job daily.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Very appealing.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Between the other summer vacation scheme students as well as the purely real estate students, we attended lots of socials that had been organised for us or that we had arranged ourselves.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Typical London prices.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Fairly good due to its central location, only ever a few stops away from anywhere you need to be after work.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not so much at this stage but the graduates in my team told me about opportunities they've had since joining the firm.
