    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed the majority of the work undertaken on the placement, but there was not much variety in the tasks which was a shame as the rest of the team had a variety of roles so it would have been nice to experience more of what the job entailed.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The work I did was well received and people made an effort in feedback to state the positives as well as where it could be improved

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • There was a great deal of support given for the work, future career and future with Savills

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

    • There were days when I was busy all day but there were also days where I had no work and had to constantly ask around for work which it was clear the team found a nuisance

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given more responsibility than I imagined I would be on the internship, for instance I was given projects to complete on my own that were going to clients the next week. These projects were obviously checked by the rest of the team but it made me feel like I was contributing positively to the work load.

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

    • It has given me an understanding of the necessary skills for the role, which skills I need to work on and where my strengths lie.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Quite a nice atmosphere; hard work but banter at the same time.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • the initial arrangements were not so well organised, didn't get any details for a long time, but once the internship had started everything was run really well with a schedule which offered enough flexibility to get stuck in with work for your team but also to get to know the kind of work that the different departments dealt with.

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

    • Each department gave talks on their area of the business, time was allocated for the interns to get out into the city to see the developments that the company dealt with, within the team time was put aside to introduce the interns to the department and the tasks.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Financial Bonus
    3/5
