Residential Sales Apprentice Review

Come into the office, have a morning meeting to establish what everyone is doing for that day, speak to clients and buyers and update their details on the CRM system and also speak to people that have enquired to view a property from previous days, carry out viewings that are booked into the diary, follow up with clients once the viewings have taken place.

I have been at Savills as an apprentice for just over 2 years now and you just do not stop learning. This role also gives you the tools to develop skills. For example, this job role has allowed me to develop my team-working skills over the years that I have been here, as we normally have to book viewings in for each other and cover for each other.

I have stumbled upon an opportunity that I am forever grateful for and I have definitely enjoyed my time here so far. The job is just so much more than sitting in the office, staring at a computer screen for hours and going home at the end of the day and that is what makes this job more enjoyable.

This is my second apprenticeship here at Savills and in terms of how my previous and current programme is structured, I would say that it is structured decently. The transition from the first apprenticeship to the second had minor complications however, it was sorted promptly.

My employers are very supportive. I've never been afraid to ask any questions or speak with them regarding anything to do with the role. They have made this side of things quite comfortable and easy-going.

My training provider is excellent when it comes to this. He is very responsive and offers a ton of support in any area within the curriculum. When ever I have had an issue with anything, we would go through what ever I am struggling with in detail, so that I know exactly what I need to do.

What is so great about this particular qualification is we realise that we do most of the things and techniques that are covered, in our job role already, which makes it easier to relate to and to refresh our knowledge on.

One of the reasons why Savills is so enjoyable is because of the range of extra curricular activity that you can get involved in. We hold and apprenticeship awards ceremony every year now, which is also a very good opportunity to network with other apprentices from different regions and connect. There are tons of other events that occur as well.

Yes

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.

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.
