    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The Insight featured departmental talks outlining their roles and function within the business itself. There were also a variety of virtual Q&A sessions and group exercises in order to develop our knowledge and network as students hoping to progress into the field of surveying or any area surrounding it.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes, I have learnt more about Savills as a business. I have come to understand the wide range of sectors they cover as well as have interests in. I feel it has helped me understand and identify those areas I think my personal interests and attributes will work well with whilst also doing the same in identifying those that I maybe don't see being quite for me.
