We all start our career as a beginner, so don't be afraid to seek additional help or clarification if you require it. There really is no such thing as a silly question, so ask as many as you need! I believe that the best way to learn is to ask questions. This will show initiative and highlights your ability to communicate with colleagues.

What do you like about your job and the company?
Personally, the career progression opportunities that are available at EY continually motivate me to strive for excellence- meeting deadlines, producing high quality work and effectively communicating with my colleagues. The learning opportunities that are available, such as the Chartered Accountant qualification, also motivate me as I can develop my skills and knowledge. Finally, I like that you are exposed to a wide range of clients and industries and that you are able to work in different audit teams, improving your network and collaboration skills.
Greatest achievements
Since only joining the firm a few months back, my greatest achievement has definitely been completing my first year of ICAS. I found the experience very challenging at times but finding out I had achieved first time passes made all the studying extremely worth it.

Having joined EY straight from school, my willingness to learn has been instrumental in shaping my professional journey. It has allowed me to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and curiosity, rather than fear or hesitation. This eagerness to learn has not only helped me to quickly pick up necessary skills and knowledge for my role, but has also shown to my colleagues that I am adaptable, have a growth mindset, and I am committed to delivering to the best of my ability. Remember, as an apprentice you are not expected to know all the answers, so don't be afraid to ask lots of questions and keep learning!
