Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
During my insight week, I was able to shadow my mentor and gain a deeper knowledge as to what it is someone within the project management team at Savills does. I was also given tasks to do such as reading through leases and extracting key information, creating budgets and schedules. Having reads of different scenarios the team has faced in the past. Also had online Q&As and talks
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
They made it exciting to learn about the business and potential roles, by giving practical experience in the fields of work, they gave me projects and responsibilities which added to the depth of the experience. They also did Q&As and workshops in which they provided information about the company and the vast array of roles
