    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The internship was four weeks in length and was thoroughly useful. Day-to day, I had various talks from many departments which gave good insights into the whole market. I went on sight visits and worked on surveys, reports and correspondence letters.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • Don't worry if you're non-cognate! This was the main thing for me, it really does not matter at all, many interns were non-cognate and like me had no property background but that didn't matter. it was a great experience. Make sure the cover letter is well written.
