Hey everyone, wanted to come on and ask a few questions

1. So I’m a second year student based in the uk and haven’t been able to land a summer internship.

How does everyone go about getting work experience since many applications are closed now?

Is there any networking events I should attend that could land me something?

What kind of emails should I be sending to firms?

How is LinkedIn networking to land some work experience?

I don’t even mind doing some unpaid work experience since I have no experience within the construction industry yet

2. I know this may sound crazy to some but have been wanting to move out of the uk asap. I live here with my parents not moved out to uni. I was considering trying to apply for grad roles in Sydney Australia next year. I have a decent amount saved up and continue to do my retail job. I believe it’s best I try move next year as I have time and savings. Just want to know what it would be like living alone as a grad in Sydney.

How does the job market look for in a graduate?

What is a good yearly salary for an independent life? (Rent, groceries all the normal things I don’t really go out)

What is the housing market like I have heard it’s quite rough like it is in London and what’s a good enough wage to let’s say even get a one bed apartment for rent per month?

Does Sydney have good public transport like London or is it better to have a car?

Do most places require experience and what do they look for in grads?

What are the pros and cons of living in Sydney as a QS?

Hey everyone,

I finally got an interview for a summer internship program for ferrovial construction.

I haven’t had an interview for a role like this before apart from retail work. I wanted to know what things would I be asked and what things would they be looking for.

Currently a second year quantity surveyor student and this role is for Heathrow btw.

Also what things did you do to make you stand out in the interview? Do they ask about contracts and scenarios? And what technical questions would they ask me?
