Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The resource manager in my office assigned me onto a variety of audit projects working with different teams. My primary role was to support the teams I was working with, in terms of the planning stage of the audit. This involved using my knowledge of frameworks to conduct an effective position audit and industry analysis. This role was important in helping Deloitte comply with audit standards. I was also introduced to testing some FS items. Deloitte also arranged very fun networking and social events for the evenings.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
My line manager encouraged me to participate in the different networking events arranged by Deloitte. This allowed me to interact with colleagues across the business and working at different offices. I was able to learn about the roles performed in each of the different business lines. I found it interesting to learn about how the audit department is very interrelated to the other departments. I was also clearly informed about the potential roles available to me.

Since I was assigned to a number of different projects that I was required to work on simultaneously, I have been able to develop strong time management skills. Furthermore, my line manager provided me with many opportunities to present. For example, I presented on the future of audit. This task enabled me to develop strong research, analytical and communication skills. Engaging with the various social events that Deloitte arranged has helped me to develop confidence.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
Deloitte had a very competitive process to get a place on the summer internship. Therefore, I think that it is very important to stand out and to do this you must be authentic. Deloitte is very diverse, there isn't just one type of person working there. Therefore, when answering interview questions make sure to be yourself. Another good tip for interviews, is to prepare lots of different competencies in advance and understand the role that you are applying for.
