Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
Make sure to have a list of examples that you can talk about on how you can demonstate the skills they looking for. Use the STAR technique when answering these type of questions. Also, know why you want to work there and a bit about the industry. They do not expect you to have any knowledge of accounting/audit. They are looking for someone who is willing to work hard, learn, and contribute to the firm. You get extensive on the job training, so do not worry.
