Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Meetings with Team/Team members. Online courses called 'success factors'. Pieces of work for clients such as invoice categorizing, corporation tax documentation (CTSA), price lists, and onboarding partners ect. EY badges which are extracurricular activities you can partake in.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a fascinating learning experience and its an opportunity which gives you an insight into the various tax service lines. Tax is far broader than most people realise and this internship was an amazing chance to learn all about the different areas of tax.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY
Focus a lot on how you interact and get on with people. Anyone can be smart or hard working, but not everyone has the skills to work in a team. It is important to show you can work well with people and be a valuable team member during you application process. Additionally, show innovation whilst applying. This is a skill that is valued greatly by the firm.
