SUmmer Scheme Student Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Savills, It has been an invaluable experience. I believe I have learnt a lot in such a short space of time and taken away a wealth of knowledge and also a lot of fun and laughs. I have met some wonderful people and everyone has been very welcoming and kind.

Everyone that I have worked with in my team of people, have been incredibly welcoming and really taken me on board as one of them. I have felt very much valued by them all. I think I have been able to contribute a lot and help out with their work load.

The team of people I work with gave me a lot of support and guidance with all the work was given. I felt comfortable asking anyone for help with any queries or questions I had about each task. I am very grateful for the support, it has made my time here much easier.

During my time at Savills, my work load varied on a day to day basis. I believe on average I was always busy and had something to be getting on with. I also was busy going to networking events such as The South of England Show and Cereals. If ever I left like I had nothing got do, I would always enthusiastic to be given more work.

My team but a lot of trust in me, when helping with different projects. My main responsibility over the course of the month was ensuring that all the mapping for different estates was done accurately and correctly. This was a big responsibility as measurements of these areas are fundamental for the running's of these businesses.

I believe I have learnt a lot during my time at Savills, It will help me so much for my final year completing my university degree. I believe I have also learnt a lot of transferable skills such as communicational ones, which will help me a lot in later life, in my career.

The office had a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, everybody was incredibly welcoming and friendly. People all got along with each other very well and I had a good laugh with the rest of the staff. There was no awkwardness or silence in the office which was nice as it was a lively and fun place to be.

I believe the summer scheme was organised very well by the Savills graduate team.. I was constantly informed on what I needed to be doing and how my month would pan out. I was given a very good introduction to the company and had feedback with the graduate team on a regular basis.

Unfortunately I was only with the company for such a short length of time that I don't believe the company had much opportunity to invest in me. However, I did have appraisals to keep record of how I was getting on. I believe with more time I would have had the opportunity for proper training.

I would very much considering future employment prospects within Savills, I believe it is a very good organisation to work for and they are renowned for their 'graduate scheme' which is something that I am hoping to get involved with in a couple of years. It would be a great company to work for.

Although there was only a few fellow students, everybody was very sociable and on several occasions when went for drinks and things after work. I believe it would have been more sociable with more people in the same situation as me, nevertheless I still enjoyed my time socialising when I did.

I was living at home during my time of my internship, therefore I wasn't having to pay of living and accommodation which was ideal. However, Winchester being such an impressive city - came with expenses of drinks and certain costs. The public transport around the area is also quite pricey.

I was only working for a short amount of time so I never had the chance to experience the nightlife in Winchester. However, many people say that the bars and restaurants are very busy and good fun. However, it is definitely not known for its nightlife and I doubt there are many clubs.

Unfortunately because I was only with the company for such a short amount of time, I didn't have many opportunities to get involved with other activities. However, I attended around 4 'networking events' such as Cereals and South of England show. These were great fun and enabled me to meet many great contacts.
