Student on Work Experience Review

I spent roughly half of my time at Savills out of the office on inspections, viewings and land management meetings which were incredibly informative. Whilst in the office I spent time talking to other agents in order to collect comparable information, calling estate tenants and clients, updating rent review forms, and working on a valuation report for an estate I visited previously in the week.

Learning and understanding about this was really informative. I was not entirely aware of how many different career paths within Savills there were at the start of the week but I have been positively surprised. I am still not entirely sure of the area of profession I would like to go into but knowing that there is a myriad of opportunities available is very encouraging.

I have definitely seen improvements in my confidence throughout the week when calling other agencies and clients etc. I have also gained a better understanding of working with data on Excel and being able to use the software to enhance my work. Furthermore, I have learnt how to network in the workplace and develop relationships between myself, graduates and even senior members of the team.

I found the company culture to be very friendly and team orientated. I really liked the fact that senior members of staff are not separated in the workspace from graduates and that employees are encouraged to ask questions when unsure. I can only give positive feedback about the company culture and general atmosphere during my week at Savills.

I thoroughly enjoyed the insight programme. I found it to be incredibly informative and useful for developing both a wider knowledge of the career path and expanding my professional skillset. I could not recommend the programme enough.
