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

    • As I had never studied property before my manager was incredibly helpful in giving me time in my first 2 days to research some of the key elements she thought I needed to know - as well as constantly trying to help me learn more through the month.

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

    • As it was August many members in my team didn't have as high work load as they would usually - this meant I wasn't always busy. However this worked well as my manager helped me to arrange meetings with different departments to gain a more well rounded insight.
