Summer Intern Review

Each day is different, and each week is different. Tasks ranged from writing reports on hotels being valued by the team, researching about the hotels business rates, general area, recent capital expenditure. Other days consisted of site visits to hotels around the UK, meeting with the general manager of the hotel and gathering the most up to date information about the property, and then receiving tour of the property.

I have definitely improved my time management skills, and also prioritising tasks, knowing what is more important and should be completed first. I have learnt about different valuation methods relevant to hotels, and about the information and data that is important and has a big impact on the value of the property/business. I have also learnt about different levels of management of hotels - franchise agreement, management contract etc.

Yes I have been able work independently on reports for different clients, which is a process that has encouraged me to learn a lot and develop my skills. I have been able to take part in the meetings with hotel managers.

I feel I received a lot of support throughout my time. My team were very welcoming and it was an environment where I could ask questions whenever I was unsure. They offered a lot of information on what the team does, and the whole team were very approachable.

Very inclusive, everyone was welcoming and friendly, making an effort to get to know you. The team made an effort to plan social events with everyone, and team lunches. The team seemed a very close nit team.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Savills and in the Hotel Valuations team, I learned a lot of new skills and also met a lot of people who I hope I may be working with again closely in the future. I enjoyed the versatility of the job and the office atmosphere.

Yes

Be yourself, make an effort to meet other people in the office, and the vast amount of opportunities the company offers make the most of it.
