    • Thoroughly enjoyed the placement - given ample opportunity to meet people across the business and get involved with very interesting projects.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Very valued - the work was meaningful and of value to the team. As a result, you felt like you were truly a team member as opposed to an intern.

    • Manager was extremely supportive and always willing to spend time giving me guidance and advice.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The degree to which I was busy varied on a day-to-day basis. Overall, I found that I had enough work to justify the hours worked. Equally, there were quite periods and busier periods.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Fair amount of responsibility and autonomy given on certain projects. The degree of responsibility I was given was dependent on the specific project and the required real estate knowledge.
