Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role includes attending to daily meetings with my team every day to catch up on what stage we are on with the project. Other than this, depending on different days, I would be completing audit tasks such as doing FSQC checks, recording director minutes and summarising an accounting paper. Along with this I would complete any training that needs to be completed on my behalf such as risk compliance. PwC also have a lot of volunteering activities in which days I would attend them as well.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
This would depend from day to day but most of the days I did given decent amount of responsibility. I would first have training from my manager or a senior associate such as what steps I need to follow to correctly complete the task, and then I would perform it in my own time. Some work that I have been given would take 30 to 1 hour, and some tasks will take more than a day.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I definitely did improved a lot of skills, both in IT and transferable skills.
Being an audit intern, I picked up a lot of new skills on how Auro Platinum works which is what I used a lot in day to day basis. I also improved my Excel skills significantly as most of my responsibilities will include completing tasks on Excel.
Along with this I improved my communication skills, both written and verbal, time management skills and most importantly my confidence.

My main point of contact were my buddy and my career coach and any general questions that I might have relating to the internship as a whole, I could have easily access them without any challenges. They would always be willing to help me with any of my challenges or questions that I might have.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
I would advise them to be open minded and curios in their internship to make the most of it. Everyone should be proactive and seeking new opportunities and tasks to get involved and learn more about their role as much as they can. PwC also has a lot of social events and volunteering opportunities which everyone can attend. By joining these events, you can feel more involved and meet new people, expanding your network.
