Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was put in the GPS and was given plenty of work from multiple members of the team. My roles included gathering data, creating visuals and formatting market insight reports. Working with Knight Frank Softwares. I went on site visits and gathered data from KF employees in other offices for Mark-to-market reports. Group meetings with other interns for our AI Project. Attending talks from Department Heads to learn more about the business and their services.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. The first week was more smaller jobs but when the team had explained the basics of the department and seen the level of your work, and our capability, we were given more and more responsibility as the internship progressed

I really enjoyed the placement. Not only did I get on well with the team I was placed in, but the cohort of interns I was with were great as well.
