Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
When I arrived, I was greeted by my mentor, who then invited me into the team meeting in which I was introduced to the team.
Daily interactions included being wholeheartedly spoken to by everyone from a multitude of departments. I did not have many interactions externally, however I did accompany a site visit. I was given tasks to do such as providing comps for both residential and commercial valuations.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We had lunch with directors on the Wednesday, where we were provided an explanation of each department in the office. The first thing I noticed was how excited everyone was to talk about their field. I was insightful and is making me think more, with a more clear understanding, of what I would like to do.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I have learnt how to use excel a little better, as it never really was my strong suit. Subsequently it made me realise that a bit of my time should be spend getting comfortable with it. I learnt what to look for in searching for comps, as well as why some comps are not as useful as they may seem.
