This has let me develop excellent communication and negotiation skills that aid in the delivery of projects through effective collaboration with client teams and contractors alike. I have also improved upon my leadership and teamworking abilities through the people I work with and the work I undertake as part of the team
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Well organised, the UCEM aspect ran smoothly and allowed my to achieve a 1st class honours for my degree, however the APC/RICS element that followed still remains slightly unorganised but these are two separate parts to the training

An excellent amount of support and understanding, all I needed to do was ask when I felt that I needed it.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are but I can't say I've been involved in any myself
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend JLL to a friend?

Why?
JLL is an incredibly forward thinking company from it's social values to it's desire to look after it's employees, I've always felt safe and supported at work while receiving incredible benefits from the pension and paternity schemes to name a few.

If you are confident that this is the industry you'd like to get into then you should apply without hesitation, just be yourself and be confident in the knowledge you can present to an interviewer while keeping a fluid conversation going, ember that everyone that works here was once aiming to get an interview just like you!
