Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Looking through audit files and turning my observations into trackers which other members of my team can use. Emailing members of the company who are at different ranks. Meeting with colleagues in the service line to learn more about assurance.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given tasks where I had control over how I wanted to do them. This meant that I did not feel too much pressure as someone new to the business but I also felt like I was not being spoon-fed.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I become more meticulous as I would have to read a large number of files per day. I have learnt to become more efficient and how to prioritise my work. My time management has improved due to this.

What advice would you give to others applying to EY
