    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • To be honest I wasn't but I think I came at a very unlucky time for the team. The team were a couple surveyors down which meant a lot of the time they were too busy to give me major responsibilities and had to ensure they were done themselves.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • The support has been great throughout the process, I have been lucky enough to tell the team about my long term goals of moving to London and they have been able to provide me with 2 weeks work experience in the London office where I feel very lucky as I don't think many employers would have offered this kind of support for my long term endeavours.

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I have enjoyed the internship i think it has been invaluable to me and my personal development and my future goals. However, I would have liked more interns/ grads in my office I was the only intern and there was only one grad compared to other offices with up to 5 interns and graduates each I think it would have made the social side of the internship better.
