  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Savills

    • Remember it isn't about being a "know it all", the Savills culture is centred around people and the kind of person you are - not how much you already know about real estate. Be yourself and in the group task of the assessment centre, make your priority about showing how you think and respond logically to others, whilst demonstrating a positive and engaged outlook.
