    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

    • It was great to hear from lots of Fisher German employees about the various roles available in surveying. I also found that the buddy programme available during the internship was useful to learn more about a career in surveying from a recent graduate employed at Fisher German. Furthermore, I was provided with many resources and support during the internship.

    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?

    • I really enjoyed my virtual experience. Considering it was not in person, I still gained a lot of insight and information from each of the sessions, although at times I did have to dedicate a lot of time outside of the internship to complete the group and individual tasks. However, this provided me with an insight into a full working day and I found the internship overall very rewarding.
