    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Really enjoyable scheme as the team allowed me to get stuck in with the projects they were working on. Atmosphere is professional yet fun and the people in the office are enjoyable to be around. I was working within residential development which is a new sector to me, so I enjoyed learning about it.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Again, really got stuck in and felt like I had a relatively high level of responsibility. As such, felt very valued and got on with the team very well.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Everyone was incredibly helpful and talked me through the work I'd done to provide feedback. Furthermore, everyone was really willing to help whenever I had specific questions on the work I was undertaking.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I am going on to take a Masters in Real Estate, and I believe the focus is primarily on commercial and investments. As such, this scheme has not directly aided this particular stage. However, in terms of my future career, the skills I have picked up during my time here will prove invaluable as I was undertaking work common to many areas of Real Estate (such as comparable and valuations).

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Incredibly so. There was a perfect mix of departmental overviews/structured lunches and none-structured time with the team. I felt I picked up a lot from the structured elements whilst having enough room to get stuck into my personal department.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Really enjoyable and somewhat relaxed. It was a rather quiet month however everyone was still working hard without being too weighed down.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There was no formal training however there were semi regular appraisals and very valuable departmental overviews.

    4/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Very much so. I had the opportunity to speak to people from all areas and career stages and got a fantastic feel for the company, its workings and the responsibilities one has.
