Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a daily basis, I would have meetings with my team members to help with delegating work tasks which we would then go off and do. These tasks often included contacting the client for documentation, conducting sampling procedures, checking for errors and much more
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility during the internship. I knew what tasks I needed to get done and how much time should be allocated to work on those tasks. I was also responsible for ensuring I was prioritising tasks accordingly. Even with tasks that were much more challenging there was still a lot of guidance and support provided to help you get everything done to a high standard

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
The one piece of advice I’d give is to be confident in yourself and your abilities. The interviews and the application process can be quite daunting but be yourself. They provide really good advice for how to further your career or highlight areas that you might need to have a closer look at which will help you become a better professional in the long run
