    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really enjoyed getting an insight into Savills, especially coming into the office and working alongside other talented individuals.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • At times I felt very values, but other times I felt as if I was doing very menial tasks.

    3/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • No training at the start - thrown right into the deep end. However, everyone was very open and willing to help.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Having just finished my RICS accredited degree (and going on to study Sociology MSc), I do not think that the skills will be applicable in my further studies. However, the placement provided a great experience in working in the professional environment.
