Graduate Surveyor (Property) at Mason Partners
It is important to trust yourself. I have experienced being undermined due to being a female and young, you must learn to have confidence in yourself.
About Casey...
Who am I?
"I have been described as “a breath of fresh air” at work. This makes me think my personality is not typical of the job role, however, this does not mean that I don’t fit with the work. I am adaptable, outgoing and hardworking and I feel these traits help me fit in at work."
What do I do?
"I love the working environment in my office, there is a low staff turnover which indicates happy staff. It is fast paced and I am always busy and often have a full day out the office once a week. As a management surveyor I am at my desk more than other sectors, including Agency and Valuation, but I enjoy the sector more than I thought I would. "
How did I get here?
"I have always worked in retail, my jobs have varied from Topshop, Pandora, Costa and a placement year at a commercial property firm. I fell into the property sector when deciding on a University Course. I have always been intrigued in the property sector but never imagines I would end up in the job role I have. "
The life I live
"I am very busy with work and often spend longer at work than the standard ‘9-5’. I make time for the gym after work and always make sure I see my friends on the weekend."
My typical day
"My biggest achievement I am aiming for is becoming chartered by sitting my APC. All the work I do daily is to help me achieve this goal. This includes, shadowing my colleagues, undertaking site inspections, meeting Tenants and Clients, phone calls, emails and networking events. "
My qualifications
"A-levels: Drama, English Language, English Literature, Classical Civilisation Degree: Real Estate Sandwich Course "
