Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I shadowed graduates in each team, I read and pulled information from leases, I wrote a valuation report, I pulled comparable's and EPC's for properties, I filled out Rates reports and created marketing brochures.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Responsibility differs within each team, although overall I felt like I was given tasks where I felt like I had responsibility. Including reports and databases for clients.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt so much, especially about leases. I can now read and lease and gather the relevant information as well as understand the language. I have also learnt about business rates which previously I had no knowledge on.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
At the end of the internship now I would say there has been a lot of support however, at the start I struggled being on a rotation, perhaps its an idea to have one point of contact for the rotation students at graduate level to help support them.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed it to a great extent, however, I would have loved to get out of the office more. Perhaps when organising the rotations look at the diary so all the interns get to get out of the office. The other intern on rotation was out on sites every week multiple times whereas I have been out once. I am aware that it is down to the diary of the departments and a bit of luck but perhaps something to look into in the future.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Savills
You can never ask too many questions. Just talk to everyone, try especially with the graduates and other interns as this can lead to social events with them.
