• Worked as an assistant to a team of six. Assisted in showing properties to potential purchasers, writing brochures and social media content for houses coming to the market. Also participated in valuing houses by looking around them and assessing their condition and location.

This involved constantly looking after people which helped my people skills as well as it being good for teamwork as we worked with around 50 employees as just front of house. both people skills and teamwork are both crucial for working in property
