Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was assigned to an audit client and given various tasks to support the work the team was already doing. Each morning we had a team meeting to discuss what needed doing and there were plenty of people to support me when I needed it.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The office was a great place to network and speak to different colleges about their experiences and the opportunities available. I was able to talk to people at all levels from other interns and graduate students, to various senior managers, directors and a meeting with an audit partner.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I was able to learn a lot about how the audit process worked, what it is like to work with a big 4 firm, and improve upon some of my existing excel skills. I also had an opportunity to develop some communication skills as there were various networking events throughout the 4 weeks.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It is definitely a busy environment, but everyone seemed to have time to help when I needed it. I often saw people staying late in the office but there is quite a flexible work culture so for some they preferred to work this way and come in later.

Be yourself. Once you get through the numerical/verbal reasoning tests they are looking at your personality and ability to work in the team. Show an interest and passion to learn, and do some research on the industry and current events.
