Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
During my internship I was assigned to a team where I had to complete various auditing tasks for our client (an insurance company). The work varied everyday but it involved a lot of excel spreadsheets and checking documents
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes to an extent. I was given tasks to complete most of the time but sometimes I had days where there wasn't much to do. I had responsibilities but nothing that was too far beyond of my abilities
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I've definitely learnt more about excel (especially shortcuts and formulas). I have also developed my skills of checking things thoroughly. Communication skills and working in a team have also been very important skills that I've used during this time.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
Be confident, chatty and open to learning. No one knows what they're doing at first and EY doesn't expect you to, you just have to show that you have good potential to learn. Not being afraid to ask questions is very important
