    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I always had a very varied list of things to do in one day, many of which were hands on and took me away from the office to properties and exposure to clients. I had a good mix of ongoing projects and immediate work.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was thrown in at the deep end from day one, although at times challenging it gave me great experience and taught me an awfull lot- even if I was sometimes learning from my mistakes.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not only did I learn and develop practical/echnical surveying skills but my professional skill set was constantly challenged and therefore improved- especially my organisation, interpersonal, problem-solving and presentation skills.
