Graduate Surveyor Review

As a rotating commercial graduate I will spend 6 months in different departments. Currently I work in commercial valuation where I undertake inspections, due diligence/data collection and report writing.

I have learnt new skills in terms of the workplace. I have also developed knowledge in many aspects of property.

My programme works really well for me and provides a good balance of learning and being able to apply this in work.

Well organised - I am able to be flexible with my study days but can always ensure that I have my allocated time spent working and studying.

My employer is very good at allowing me to have my study time and making sure they respect this time. They are also helpful in offering support and help on how the topics relate to practice.

I have quarterly meetings with my apprenticeship officer which provides me with the opportunity to ask questions and voice any concerns.

The programme provides me with background knowledge and theories which I use every day at work.

There are many networking events within my organisation as well as with other companies. I have also been involved in activities such as careers fairs.

Yes

It is a great place to work with a friendly supportive environment which encourages employees to learn and develop.

Personality is the most important part - a good employee is someone who you would want to have in the office not necessarily the smartest in the room.
