Thank you Verity for your reply. I have already gone through that but I want to know what can I do differently to make my application stand out?

Strategy and Transactions Diligence Executive

Hi Sam, depending on the Strategy and Transactions programme (e.g. Transaction Support, Corporate Finance, Restructuring, etc), your responsibilities will vary. For example, in Transaction Support we typically focus on financial analysis of trading, cash flows, etc in the context of a specific transaction. You can find more specific information about the various Strategy and Transactions programmes here: https://www.ey.com/en_uk/careers/students/programmes/graduates/transactions-graduate-programme-options
