Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Spent the week immersed in the team's work, attending their meetings, helping with market research and tasks.
Interacted with professionals from all levels and areas of the company during networking events and general office conversation.
Went on viewings in the West End and the City where we met clients and other Savills workers.
Attended Zoom calls by Savills professionals from different departments in which they explained their department's role within the company
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very insightful - being in the same meetings, email chains, and conversations as my full-time team members allowed me to learn lots about the different processes, industry terms, and clients.
Speaking to other people about where they work gave an insight into the different areas of the company however I enjoyed being placed on a fixed team rather than rotating.
