(Development Team) - Savills Summer Scheme Review

On a day-to-day basis I would compile comparable evidence, attend team meetings and network with current graduates and qualified surveyors. I was often tasked to write market appraisals for development sites. I also had the opportunity to do a site inspection of a vacant carehome in Leamington Spa, which enabled me to understand the role of a surveyor outside of the office.

I have developed an eye for detail, improved my existing communication and interpersonal skills, time management and many more. From networking with graduates and qualified surveyors to calling up other agents to find out information for comparable evidence, this experience has improved my confidence in the working world.

During the scheme, there were regular zoom meetings to discuss the different teams that sit within Savills and this gave me a great insight into the different paths that are available for myself to choose from when I graduate in 2024.

At the Savills, the welcoming and inclusive company culture created an inspiring atmosphere for myself and other colleagues can collaborate with mutual respect. There was a sense of belonging which made me feel valued, supported and accepted. It instilled a sense of confidence enabling me to thrive and contribute authentically.

I enjoyed every day that I worked at Savills! It's highly likely that I will look to apply for graduate roles in the near future.

Be confident, be yourself and work hard!
