Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

During this role, I followed a graduate surveyor for a week accompanying him to fill out spreadsheets, relevant meetings, and research on relevant properties. I networked with many people and learnt so much about the career path

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given the responsibility to fill out some spreadsheets with data sourced from CoStar and other planning applications. I was also given the opportunity the find out the ownership of several properties.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Yes, I think my technical skills have improved as my mentor showed me quite a lot. I also think I am now proficient in using tools such as CoStar, and improved analytical skills. I have developed social skills with all the socialising I have taken part in this week.

A lot, which I am immensely grateful for. Everyone I asked was more than willing to help and super supportive. I couldn't have asked for more. My mentor was amazing and explained each task I had to do in detail and how to do it also.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I 100% enjoyed it, and would love to join the summer scheme next year. Was a lot of fun but highly educational and insightful and I genuinely think I have so much more knowledge now than what I came with
