    The Role

    • Really enjoyed the placement and learning more about the industry I would like to be involved in and looking forward to potentially coming back to Savills as felt that the firm was a great company to work for.

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

    • Inevitably, as a summer scheme intern - your knowledge is pretty limited in terms of what you can actually contribute towards a totally knew sector of the market but overall, I hope that my team valued some of my contribution

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

    • My mentor was great and always happy to offer advice and the rest of my team were very supportive and helpful.

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

    • On some days busier than others but that was to be expected when doing an internship for a large busy firm where other people have their own jobs to be getting on with.

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

    • I felt that we were given adequate responsibility for our skills set and market knowledge. When submersing yourself in a totally new field, it can be quite daunting due to the lack of market knowledge but post doing your APC, clearly you will me in a much more informed position.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Any exposure to industry and what you might be doing in your career is invaluable and I felt that whilst the tasks were limited due to our lack on knowledge, it was great to get an understanding of what the day to day tasks involve as a junior surveyor and to help the more junior members of the team with any tasks that might be useful to them.

    4/5

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

    • Very well organised, with lots of access to other teams, Q&A's with individuals who have recently qualified and people who are always willing to give you the time of day to talk about their experiences and career progressions

    4/5
