    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • During this role, I followed a graduate surveyor for a week accompanying him to fill out spreadsheets, relevant meetings, and research on relevant properties. I networked with many people and learnt so much about the career path
