Real estate intern Review

I really enjoyed it, there was lots of variety in the day and all staff were friendly and honest with us

We all felt really valued and received one to one time with current graduates to ask them questions. Even the assistant head of the west end office spoke to us.

We received lots of information and every member of staff were honest with us. They told us the real deal.

Lots of guidance on progression for the future. However it was only a short placement so it wasn't as much learning skills but learning about the job and company.

Very well structured with variety so we didn't get bored. They even included some fun ice breaker games.

Everyone was really open and honest. All the staff including graduates seemed at ease but focuses as well.

They invested quite a lot in us as they paid for all of our travel expenses. In addition, they made a real effort to be active in talking to us all. Which was all great as we are only 1st year students.

The insight helped we gained a great insight into what the firm would be like. The most interesting part was being able to do a 2 hour work shadowing experience with some of the current graduates. Also experience pathways were explained to us at the end of the day.

We had talks for several different staff members from all of the different departments in the business. We also had an office tour which showed us the set up; which was very open and flexible with hot desking playing a key role. Also, we had time to get a good insight into work and out of work life from the graduates.

All of the information provided was very helpful. They got different members of staff to talk to us and share what they do and how we could be involved. They also made clear how they love to invest in new and immerging talent from all degrees.

We were given up to £50 to cover our travel expenses which I think is necessary especially as it took place in London and all travel to the city is very expensive for students.

Yes we all got to question 4 graduates on their current work and how their APCs were coming along. We also did some work shadowing with some graduates. In addition we were able to meet several of the HR staff and to recurve talks and question a couple of the senior me where of staff.

There were a few opportunities however it was only a day long placement therefore we did not get a lot of time to meet and great all of the staff. Although we were able to spend time with other interns and members of staff so some realationshop foundations could be set.

We did recurve some information about what goes on outside of working hours however most of this information was found from asking questions of the employees including the graduates. They did explain however some of the company's activities with their charity which was interesting.

I would highly recommend this insight day to my friends as it was well organised, we received a lot of information and very good care, the staff made us feel welcome and gave us the impression that they were pleased to have us there with them. We were given lunch, transport cost were subsidised, overall a great day
