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.

What do you like about your job and the company?
I enjoy speaking with candidates about what it's like to work at EY. I love seeing their enthusiasm and providing tips for success during the application process. I also love talking to students who never considered working at a company like EY, emphasizing that we welcome candidates from all backgrounds and degree subjects.
Greatest achievements
At EY, we strive to provide our interns with a great start and finish to their Summer Internship. One of my main tasks last year was organising the venue for both events, which is no easy feat for 500 attendees. We successfully hosted a spectacular induction event that gave interns a fantastic start to their month at EY, followed by an amazing celebration event that received glowing reviews from the students.

No question is a silly question, therefore I encourage you to be curious, demonstrate your interest and ask questions.

Something I've learnt a lot in this role - as cliche as it may sound - is that whenever you have doubts about something in your line of work, it's best to ask for a second opinion. Especially when you're new to the role, it can seem a little embarrassing having to ask a question every five minutes (for me, the one that stands out is having to ask whether I was allowed to use the office milk with my afternoon cup of tea), but there's really nothing to be afraid of. Everyone wants to see you do well - your manager wants to see you develop; your team want you to contribute effectively to the engagement; and the client wants to make sure that they're getting as much as possible out of your audit. Something to keep in mind is that you'll be working with people who were in your shoes not too long before you! On my first engagement, I've been lucky enough to work with my assigned "Buddy" (a member of staff a year ahead of you in your programme/apprenticeship), as well as a "Senior" (a newly qualified member of staff, usually with about 3-4 years of experience). They've been really good at reminding me that they had the same questions a year or two previously. You'll also have other graduates/business apprentices at the same stage as you - make sure you help each other along the way!
