    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • It was a great experience not only allowing me to gain an insight into the role of a graduate surveyor but also the roles of members higher up in the team through shadowing.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • At times mixed but that is to be expected because of the fact that I am not only a non-cognate but a lot of the work carried out by the team requires market specific knowledge and experience. However, there was always work for me to complete.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • some of the skills I have developed are easily transferrable but others are quite specific to individual jobs.
