    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I developed whilst working have been useful through my third year at university. Looking beyond they will be extremely useful when I start my career as I now have the skills to tackle certain tasks with little to no assistance.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was great! I enjoyed working in an office where we were able to joke with each other but also sit down and focus on my day to day tasks.

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

    • I felt that upon arrival there was work that had been expressly set out for me to do. But also during my internship I was able to jump in with other teams and help them with things they had to do which wasn't planned.

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

    • I felt that Cushman and Wakefield put a lot of time into ensuring that I came away from the internship and a more rounded professional.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a great social scene from events that were arranged by outside companies that myself and some of my colleagues attended to drinks on a Friday night after work had finished.

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

    • I had an internship in my home city of Cardiff so living was cheap. Though I do know that going out and eating in the area isn't over priced.

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

    • The nightlife is great there is a lot to do in the town centre from clubs to bars and pubs.

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

    • As I was only there for 1 month I didn't have the opportunity to get involved in any of there.
