Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a 3-day virtual insight programme. This involved, departmental overviews, a group exercise resulting in a presentation to key members of staff, and Q&A sessions with directors and other staff members.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I found it extremely interesting. This insight programme has further solidified the fact that I would like to go into the property industry. It has also enabled me to decipher which areas I would like to further research and pursue and which areas aren’t necessarily for me.
