    • I thought it was great. I really enjoyed it and felt it was very beneficial giving me insight into how the company operated

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

    • At times I felt like a bit of a burden, as it was a slow month for them, so it was hard for them to find me work to do; but they were a great team and lovely people

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

    • there was always someone on hand to help me if I needed it

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

    • Not that busy to be honest. I could of coped with more work, yet it was a quiet month so I understand

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

    • Not that much. Obviously, being there only a month, its not like I was able to create relationships with clients or have any meaningful role that would be missed when I left. However, I was trusted with some documents and mapping that went directly to clients

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I am about to embark on my masters degree. I now have a good insight into some of the processes of real estate and I'm sure I will have an edge over other students who are also about to undertake masters.
