Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Meeting top professionals in the field and learning about what they do in their day to day life. I was inspired by many of the speakers invited and impressed at the live demos been given. I learned about how inclusivity is important to the company culture and that everyone is accepted at EY. This was amazing and comforting to hear. I also was invited for a celebration day which was very fun and interactive as I got to play a fun game with a new team of friends.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I learned so much about the different fields and how they all interlink with one another. I also learned that technology is incorporated in many of the roles and so i found that it was quite exciting for me as I had all kinds of options to consider. I gained an understanding of how deep technology has penetrated into business and far moving it can be. It was also really amazing and inspiring to see top women professionals doing an amazing job for the firm.

I have developed confidence in my abilities and learned that I should do what I enjoy. I also learned to communicate and interact with others during the day and also enjoyed many team-building exercises. I also learned about opportunities to build my personal brand. This was essential, learning how to market yourself to others. This was a huge skill I took away from the speaker who delivered this segment. I found it very inspiring and enjoyable.
