Top Insider Advice
Based on training sessions I have attended and the induction session we have had, the most common advice given to us was ' Ask questions.' And I absolutely abide by it. I always ask lots of questions! My colleagues always remind me that there is no such a thing as a silly question. They are always happy to answer my questions and provide me with context on what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and more importantly, advise on the approach I should take to action a task. This helped me gain an insight into the wider picture of the engagement, helping me understand the client better.

What do you like about your job and the company?
Entering into the professional and corporate world at the age of 18 is quite exciting and I hope to gain experience and learn new skills which not only help me in my day-to-day job but will help in the future. Getting a chance to meet and talk to the Partners and Senior Managers has not only helped to improve my communication skills but has also given me an insight as to what their job entails and how they manage the work-life balance. Networking with them has also given me a chance to learn a few tips and tricks such as handy excel shortcuts and even where to get great smoothies.
Greatest achievements
Towards to end of my first busy season, closer to the sign off date, I was given a task by my Senior which revolved around a high risk item. For this, I had to reach out to the client and get the relevant documents and match the valuations. I did this task with minimal support from my Senior and was able to turn it around quickly. Doing this helped me gain an insight into a key risk item and I felt proud knowing that I was able to help my team.

Sounds Simple but people forget this.. Taking part in any recruitment process can be a exciting but also daunting time, during the process always try and be your true self. Be honest with your answers and try and allow your personality to come through during the process. Skills can be taught and but behaviours can't.
