Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I carried out research and took part in inspections for my team's projects on a daily basis. My team took the time to explain to me about how different types of valuations worked and showed me how they calculate the valuations and produce reports. There were overviews of the different departments in the business and lots of opportunity to network with graduates, other interns and directors.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was great to gain insight into all the different areas of the business and has left be with a desire to explore more about the industry in general, as I have learnt about so many roles that I was not aware of before.
