Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to assist anyone I could, whether it be dilapidations, schedule of conditions, meeting minutes, report structuring, etc.
I also had the privilege to accompany some of the team on site visits for schedule of conditions and progress meetings. We would return from these and I would assist in any capacity.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In the beginning, I was given responsibility to cost check and assist on dilapidations.
Later on, I was given the chance to write my own schedule of condition for a client while working to a deadline, which tested my time management but also to show myself I could deal with responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
The role has definitely made me more aware of the importance of time management skills when it comes to report writing and working to a deadline.
The art of communication has been evident. Being able to pick up the phone and speak to clients is of great importance. This internship has definitely improved my communication skills.
I believe I work well in a team but this internship helped further develop this as teamwork is of great importance to ensure we succeed.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company has a strong reputation for culture and inclusivity. They have a strong pledge to ingrain inclusivity into every aspect of their culture, displayed through their charitable initiatives. There is such a positive atmosphere in the workplace, where there is a strong combination of hard working mentalities but a laid back social vibrancy. They truly follow their branding of ‘better never settles’.
