Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was akin to starting as a graduate trainee chartered surveyor. Tasks varied but were mainly research centred, finding and complying information. I would also accompany my mentor if they attended any meetings or had any work to do out of the office. Every day tended to be quite varied for me, with a good balance between desk work in the office and work out the office.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility for finding and compiling information.
