Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Throughout the week, there were several zoom calls where insight into the company and the available teams were provided. This was followed by opportunities of networking with graduate recruits, and directors. Alongside this, I shadowed my mentor, gaining experience and skills in both the Building and Project Consultancy team and the Dilapidations team; this included comparing leases, practicing creating minutes, and creating recommendation for payments, and going on various site visits.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was extremely insightful, as there are many teams in the company, and being able to listen on Zoom to the explanations of potential day-to-day roles, alongside speaking to graduates who rotate around the company, provided a lot of valuable information.
