Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We listened to departmental talks to find out a bit more about each of the areas in Deals and got to take part in activities that related to the different areas within Deals which was really engaging and enjoyable.
We also got to take part in Q and A sessions with Partners and were allocated a 'buddy' who we could ask questions to.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a great insight into PwC as a whole and being able to dive deeper into Deals was really interesting. It was really motivating to hear how participation in the programme can help you achieve a Graduate offer (or placement/internship offer if in earlier years at University).

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
The whole application process was not too difficult and I enjoyed the Career Focus day a lot as it was different to any other assessment centre I had completed before.
I would say just try to be yourself, research PwC beforehand so that you feel prepared and then just embrace the opportunity as whatever the outcome, it is great practise for the future!
