06goals & future aspirations
My ambition is to build a successful career in property and real estate — understanding how buildings are developed, marketed, managed and transformed into spaces where people live and work.
“The future is a blank page — and I'm learning to love that.”
To build a long-term career within property and real estate, in an industry I've loved since I was young.
More experience across residential and commercial property, estate agency, property development and housing management.
Commercial real estate, property development, housing management, facilities management, marketing and administration.
A knowledgeable and trusted professional within the industry.
By continuing to learn, develop and take on new challenges — and learning from experienced professionals along the way.
career ambitions
I am currently exploring opportunities that align with my long-term career interests. Although I am no longer undertaking the Level 3 Property Management Apprenticeship, I remain very eager to secure another apprenticeship or a suitable long-term position within the property and housing industry.
I am particularly interested in opportunities with established estate agencies, property management companies, housing associations, residential developers, commercial real estate businesses and other organisations within the built environment.
My ambition is to gain practical experience, work towards recognised professional qualifications and develop into a knowledgeable and confident property professional.
I would particularly value an opportunity that allows me to combine employment with further study, including professional qualifications through ARLA Propertymark or the Chartered Institute of Housing.
education & professional development goals
I want my portfolio to show that I am serious about building a long-term career within the property and housing industry.
Gaining an ARLA Propertymark qualification in property management.
Working towards qualifications with the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH).
Exploring the CIH Level 5 qualification and potential online study routes.
Finding an employer-supported apprenticeship or long-term position where I can gain practical experience while studying.
Developing my understanding of residential property management, housing services, property development and commercial real estate.
Gaining further industry knowledge through networking events, university events and property exhibitions.
industry events & networking
Attended
University open events & networking
I have attended open events and networking opportunities at DMU to explore further education, professional development and potential career pathways — learning about university opportunities, connecting with people and exploring routes into the property, business and housing sectors, alongside gaining practical industry experience.
Upcoming · planning to attend
Property & housing industry exhibition
I am planning to attend Homes UK 2026 to broaden my understanding of the housing and property industry, explore current developments, meet industry professionals and build connections within the sector.
my approach to networking
I am keen to attend more property exhibitions, university open days, networking events and professional development opportunities. I believe meeting people within the industry, listening to experienced professionals and learning about different organisations will help me develop a clearer understanding of the career paths available to me.
I am very open-minded when it comes to employment opportunities and would be more than happy to consider a variety of roles, including trainee property manager, assistant property manager, property administrator, lettings negotiator, estate agency assistant, receptionist, front desk administrator, office administrator, customer service, sales support, recruitment consultant or general office-based positions.
Although my main ambition is to build a long-term career within the property and real estate industry, I completely understand that gaining experience, developing knowledge and working my way up takes time. I would not expect to walk straight into a senior property management or estate agency position. I am more than willing to start in an entry-level or trainee role, learn how the business operates, support the wider team and gradually develop my knowledge and experience.
I would particularly welcome opportunities within estate agencies, property management companies, housing associations, property developers, recruitment agencies and other professional organisations. I would also be happy to work in reception, administration or customer-facing roles, as I believe these positions would allow me to develop valuable transferable skills, build professional relationships and gain experience in a busy working environment.
I am someone who genuinely enjoys meeting new people, communicating with different personalities, networking, building relationships and being part of a team. I am approachable, enthusiastic, organised and eager to learn. I would be happy to take on different responsibilities, support colleagues wherever needed and prove myself through my attitude, commitment and work ethic.
I currently hold a UK provisional driving licence and am actively learning to drive. I am working towards gaining my full driving licence and understand that having access to a vehicle can be beneficial for certain property-related roles, particularly those involving property inspections, viewings and travelling between locations.
My long-term goal is to gain relevant industry experience, continue developing professionally and work towards recognised qualifications, including ARLA Propertymark qualifications and qualifications through the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH). I am particularly interested in progressing into property management, residential lettings, housing, real estate and property development over time.
Ultimately, I am not solely looking for a particular job title. I am looking for the right opportunity, a supportive working environment and a company where I can learn, contribute, build my confidence and develop a long-term career. I am willing to start somewhere, put in the work, take on new challenges and work my way up.
