Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The day involved calls with my team over Microsoft teams whereby what has been completed and what needs to be completed was discussed. Furthermore, completing task assigned by seniors including updating files, working with data and daily lessons which allowed me to gain a broader understanding of EY and the service sector. Also, enabling me to gain confidence, problem solving and innovative skills.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a high level of responsibility during my internship, firstly to the businesses morales and throughout the completion of tasks. I would have liked a bit more responsibility maybe with a few more challenging tasks to further develop my professional skills.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have used my existing skills of confidence and critical thinking when completing tasks and networking with employees. Moreover, I have learnt new skills including attention to detail, I learnt/developed this skill continually throughout the period of the internship especially when a senior asked for aid with a task as I knew detail and no errors is vital.

The support provided by EY was great, there was always someone available if you have any questions and queries.

Furthermore, on the first day we were allocated a buddy who completed the induction and was very supportive.
