    The Role

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

    • The internship was great. For this role I had to relocate to London which to begin with was expensive. The social activities and talks were really informative and showed what it is really like to work for JLL. Also provided further insight into the industry. The social activities allowed me to mix with the other interns and graduates which was fun!

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

    • Luckily for the the department I was placed in was extremely busy which meant that there was always work to do. As a result of this however you are do have to go in search of your own work, and there was no one really to 'hold your hand' as it were because everyone was so busy. This worked well for me however as I liked the independence, but it may not work for some. everyone in the department was really approachable.

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

    • My supervisor was out on secondment whilst I was on my internship so I didn't see her much. Everyone else was on hand for support

    • It varied, some days I was rushed off my feet, others I was quieter. There was always something to do however, just depended on how tight the deadline was

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

    • I was only here for 4 weeks so there weren't a lot of training opportunities. There were guest talks or 'lectures' provided as part of the program which gave us insights into different parts of the business which was really interesting and useful.
