1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role entails working closely with my team, being involved in meetings and calls, speaking with clients and customers, holding viewings for properties, sending articulated emails, assisting the team with various tasks, for example, dealing with enquiries from people wanting to view properties.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have definitely developed on existing skills that I have obtained. An example of this is my communication. I believe that this has massively improved, due to the fact I use a range of communication on a day-to-day basis. Another skill I believe I have improved is time management.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my role at Savills because it's not just subjected to one specific, repetitive environment, which is what I really love about it. Everyone in the company is so wholesome and welcoming and everyone is treated with the same respect and manner.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I find that this program is very well structured and organised. Everything was already planned and in motion as soon as we joined and if anything needed rescheduling, it would be handled instantly and effectively. Our training provider is also really supportive and reliable which makes the academical side of the program really good.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

The HR team and my manager are incredible. They are immensely supportive and I feel like I can talk to them about anything. They are so easy to talk to and also very welcoming and benevolent.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Normally, if we are having any difficulties understanding what we need to do with our assignments and tasks, our training provider (who is already really busy) wouldn't even hesitate to organise a teams call to make sure that we fully understand what we need to do. Our training provider is really helpful and ensures that our wellbeing as well as anything else is all well.

9/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Because we cover most of the criteria that is needed for this role, it is so clear that what we have learnt with our training provider has completely helped with the day-to-day role. I have been at the company for a year now, so I believe I can say that it has helped.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Absolutely. There's an abundance of extra-curricular activities that Savills provide. People from the company normally get together to participate in sports and activities either for charity or for fun. We also have a few networking events. Also recently helped a small part of the community with cooking healthy meals, which was refreshing.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend Savills to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Because what I've learnt from being here is that this company is for absolutely anyone and everyone no matter what and there's equal opportunities for everyone.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Savills?

Firstly, I would say to just be yourself. This is the only way you can really make an impression on your interviewers and stand out from anyone else. Secondly, believe in yourself. There are going to be a lot of other applicants going for the same role as you, it's very daunting, but once you believe you can do something, you'll do it. And lastly, don't be nervous! The interviewers are very friendly and welcoming, which will put you at ease and make the process smoother.
