About You
Massively helpful and plenty of information for me to take on and will no doubt aid me in the future.
Everyone who spoke gave the impression they wanted us, and all the Grads couldn't recommend enough we apply and spoke very highly of the company.
The professional yet not intimidating made me feel very comfortable and happy to ask anyone a question.
I gained far more information than I could have hoped to recieve and I feel far more knoweldgable and informed on the company and the Real Estate sector.
The Company
I felt it was very well organised, everything was on time and [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] had made it well worth everyone's time. The only thing that would have made it better was if they could have made it longer but I understand it wouldn't have been possible.
It is very hard to provide an atmosphere online but having everyone being able to see everyone made it far more immersive. Also having all the speakers there visually gave a more personal feel.
Very hard to gain skills in a day but the knowledge I gained was hugely helpful.
The process of being a graduate surveyor in the company was very explained and visualised thoroughly.
The company culture was reiterated throughout all the talks and made very clear.
I have a much better idea of which path I want to take but I am still not 100% certain and clear on some of the differences.
Everything Else
There would have been for travel if it was in person.
The employees i did meet I added on linkedin and was able to get contact with, however there wasn't a list of emails I could email which would have been helpful.
It was very hard to network when it was virtual but I was able to talk to a member of each department that spoke.
We were given a very good idea of the different opportunities for graduates and the societies and social events on offer.
Hugely helpful and insightful. I just wish we were able to the do the original week as I feel this would have been far more valuable in terms of experience, but we understand the circumstances.
