    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • my work load was lighter than I would have preferred. I like to keep busy but there wasn't enough for me to do so I often found myself idol. I had a really lovely team, sometime I felt left out from the team but I guess thats because they've known each other way before I came. This placement met my expectations. I would come back.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Mace

    • Read up on Mace's values. Learn about the different engines and find out which one is best for you! Think about which engine aligns with your interest. Write down your goals and regularly reflect back on them. Shadow a variety of people of people who don't work on your team to get an all round feel of the different jobs I would say have a passion for real estate/ property/ construction
