Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am in the UK occupier management team and my sub-division focused on the estate management of Sainsbury's convenience. My role involves lease auditing, lease analysis, carrying out inspections and surveys, and updating portfolio reports.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Cushman and Wakefield are a very large company with various service lines. However within Global Occupier Services, I am in a team with few people therefore I was granted responsibility to carry out inspections and surveys by myself and I felt as though there was opportunity to impress my supervisors. I was given vast responsibility to network both internally and externally of the company.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cushman & Wakefield to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cushman & Wakefield
Be confident. Of course the HR department and employers are looking for candidates who are professional and eager to network. However I think the most important factors are to be friendly and ready to learn. Three of the core values at C+W are inclusivity, insightfulness, and collaboration so it is essential to be a team player.
