  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Savills
  • Make sure your CV is good and have a cover letter that reflects who you are as a person, they are not just interested in you academically. Be yourself in the interview and prepare for it but just relax, they want to see you and what you are like as a person. At the end of the day they are looking for someone they can trust and be responsible with their work but also someone to chat to.
