    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed it very much. It was a fantastic oppertunity to gain an insight into the real estate industry and gain a good understanding on different elements of property. I have gained a strong contact base from the 1 month internship with senior employees as well as many other interns.

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

    • My superviser gave me the majority of my work as well as a few other team members. The support I recieved mainly came from the graduate in the seat next to me. He was very informative and answered any issues I had.
