Overview
Working with a range of people in the rural sector, in the office and out on site visits to farms and estates. Attending internal and external meetings and working with tenants, clients and contractors.
Skills
Yes, the biggest skill is my interpersonal skills which I have learnt and enhanced whilst working with such a wide range of people, as well and time keeping and management skills. I have also enhanced my report writing and written communication skills through reading and writing reports during my internship. As well as this, I have developed skills specifically to estate management including data collecting, surveying and excel skills more specifically.
Responsibilities
I was given as much responsibility as was possible given my qualifications and terms of work. I was allowed to do research, client work, data processing, attend internal and external meetings, go to estates and farms and meet clients, tenants and contractors. They gave me lots of responsibility in the office and with the work I was carrying out.
Support & Guidance
I had a mentor who I could talk to on a daily basis, but was given the freedom to work with all members of the team. They all gave me support and guidance, but ultimately it was up to me to plan who I worked for and then who ever I was working with helped me and supported me really well.
Culture
Really kind, friendly, welcoming and supportive. Got involved with events taking place out of office hours and got on really well with everyone.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, I met amazing people, got involved with fascinating work and saw some incredible estates and farms.
Yes
To make the most of the opportunities when working there and meet as many people as possible and get as much varied experience as possible.
