The Role
It has been a fantastic experience, where I have met so many new people and developed essential skills.
I feel they were grateful for the help I was able to give them with their workload.
I was guided by my colleagues where necessary, although I was given a lot of responsibility to get on with the work independently.
Very busy most days - there were only a few occasions where I didn't have any work to do.
From day one I was given a very high degree of responsibility which was great!
The skills I have developed are invaluable. Not only will they will assist me in my studies but for my future career in the property sector.
The Company
Lots of focus and concentration was needed when working in this particular department.
Very well organised - particularly our scheduled timetable of events.
I felt like a lot of time and effort had been put into organising our internship programme.
I hope one day I will be fortunate enough to work at Savills.
The Culture
We all got on so well, and we're very sociable throughout the month - meeting up for lunch and drinks in the evening etc.
London is very expensive in general, but that's expected.
The best!
Yes, particularly meeting other interns to catch up etc.
