    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, I wish it had been under different circumstances so that it could have been fully enjoyed whit work drinks/events and being the initial length of time.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt that the work i did was valued and i wasn't just given mundane jobs to do. However, i wish i was given more work ans i often felt i was not doing much despite asking plenty of times for more work to do (I do understand that people were often too busy to give me work)

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • When i did not understand anything i was given lots of support and guidance, i never felt like the questions i was asking were silly or not important. My seniors explained things very well when i was unsure of an area and spent time trying to help me understand.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • When i was given tasks often some of them were lengthy which i really enjoyed getting stuck into, but when i diminished these there was not really a sense of knowing what my next job was - there wasn't much continuity between the work i was doing either. I feel an improvement of this internship would be to have a structured plan of work that the interns can work through instead of having to constantly ask if anyone has any work for them to do, as often i felt as though i was pestering trying to get work.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given tasks including excel spread sheeting which i think did have responsibility to them, however these were juts tasks here and thee. Which i do underrate as there is only so much I could do in a week and only so much reputability i could be trusted whit.

    2/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Although sometimes i did not have much work to do, the work i did do will really help me launch into my degree as i have never studied real estate before. So the skills i learnt and the research I did while here has given me an insight into my degree and has made me excited to start!

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere in the office was extremely friendly, and made me feel at ease.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I had two seniors who were mainly giving me work, however they did not have an idea of work throughout the week i could get on whit, it was more just a one by one basis of work they could find. So if it was more organdie I think i would have learnt a lot more.

    2/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Whenever i asked a question they would spend the time explaining even if they were busy, this made me feel grateful that they would do this. So i do think they wanted me to develop on my skills.

    3/5

    4/5
