Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Role: Busines Space Property Management.
Dat-to-day: operational management of different commercial properties in London and the surronding area. My role was very client facing, with multiple meetings, inspections, reporting, & research. I assisted my line manager in the 'behind scenes' with tracking tenant debts to analysing and creating service charge budgets.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Witihn the first month, I was the only contact with direct links to the client of a property. I was truely given a lot of trust and responsibility, which I dont think other companies could/would offer Placement Students.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt somethign new every day, and I am 11 months down the line...
I came into the business with zero corporate experience. Since then, I have left with a greater level of professionalism if its regarding my work (organisation/time-keeping) or personal skills like presenting and general confidence.
Savills has built my foundation when it comes to working in a corporate office. Secondly, all placement students are given training courses throughout the year including 'introduction to AI' and general business skills such as 'avoiding bias'.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I have had endless support from the first day to present.
If I am ever stuck or confused, I know I can ask anyone in my team for help and they would be more than happy to help!
To note; my line manager was a placement student once and valued his experience so much that he choose to help future students - this was not a situation where a director gets 'stuck' with a placement student for a year.

Recommendations & Advice

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Savills
- Just be yourself. In the interviews, Savills is not looking for the classic corporate responses - they want to find out who you are as a person and if your values match that of the company.
