    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I had an extremely enjoyable experience on my one month internship at JLL. I felt welcomed not only by the team I was put into but by all colleagues at the company and was always greeted by someone with a smile on their face.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was never not busy. Every member of my team wanted to help me learn from my experience and offered up work for me to get on with or to join them on visits outside of the office.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • If I was ever troubled by any work I was getting on with, I felt comfortable asking either my buddy or assigned supervisor for help.

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

    • I always had something to do, whether it was researching comparable evidence or on visits outside the office.

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

    • During my first week of my internship I dealt with a client on my own, this demonstrated to me that the company wanted me to gain as much exposure into the industry as possible. Throughout the rest of my internship I was left to get on with work by myself and also spent a lot of time in the presence of clients.

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

    • I have been able to bring lots of knowledge from my internship back to my studies. This includes current market trends as well as agency techniques and the formatting of different types of reports and head of terms.

    4/5

    The Company

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship was very well organised. I was issued with timetable of events on my first day so I always knew where I was meant to be.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
