Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In our role, we work closely with account teams in Consulting, Tech, SaT and Audit to respond to proposals, using a combination of presentations, spreadsheets and questionnaires to aid our teams to improve Insurance companies
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given ownership of multiple tasks throughout the placement, which can feel pressured at points but I really rose to the occasion, with the help of my senior colleagues

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have improved my powerpoint, excel and presenting skills massively. I have also developed my organisational skills, which was something that I was lacking in. Working as part of our internal team has made me more skilled at time management and working with others on large scale, multifaceted projects.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
Go into the placement with an open mind, and don't be afraid to ask for pieces of work you know you'll enjoy. The team is always accommodating if you say you want to get involved in Sustainability projects or DE&I Initiatives. Also, don't be afraid to message senior members of other teams to pick their brains over coffee.
