Overview
As a project manager I was busy every day. I was often out meeting clients and Savills employees discussing current projects. The day often began by checking my emails and schedule for the day. Preparing for any meetings and finishing any meeting notes from the previous day. I was often meeting new employees in the team ranging from graduates and directors.
Skills
I have developed my ability to manage projects in a professional environment. This has been as a result of my engagement within meetings and site visits. Furthermore, my confidence in talking to new faces has also increased. I have progressed my note taking skills from the fast paced meetings I was involved in.
Business Insight
It was extremely valuable to my progression in my career. By working closely with members of different teams and liaising with other students I have a broader and greater understanding of all roles within project and building consultancy department. Additionally, it was entirely enjoyable and interesting learning, in the heart of the business, about Savills.
Culture
The company was extremely social. A positive and welcoming environment was present from reception through to on site client meetings. Whilst remaining a professional environment Savills continued to ensure all members of the team felt welcomed and essential to the team. When I was not working, on my lunch break, my mentor and I went out to get lunch.
Your Impressions
The insight was extremely enjoyable and insightful. This was due to the inclusivity of all employees towards myself and other students. I was kept busy at all times with new and exciting things to do such as meetings with new and existing clients, departmental overviews, networking opportunities and much more.
Yes
I was inspired to apply for Savills because of the great opportunities offered throughout the business. Most importantly I would suggest doing plenty of research prior to the application to get the most obscure but relevant answers to the questions asked. Also know to not be too nervous as all employees (that I met) were extremely open and helpful at my time working for Savills.
