When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Forvis Mazars?
Be confident in your knowledge no matter your background. Being able to work in a team and be cordial with colleges is a crucial often forgotten part of interviewing. If you are confident technically you must also show this outwardly, especially if you apply to work in the public sector where you will often speak with clients. Fake it till you make it if you have to!
