One of the key messages I tell people applying for apprenticeships is to prepare. Research is paramount, and often assessments and interviews can be simply a matter of practicing. If you prepare for as many scenarios as possible, you are less likely to be caught off guard. The more you can practice your strengths, the better chance you have of performing under pressure. Additionally, take failure as a learning experience. From my personal experience, there are going to be many rejections, and the only way to see success is to take it lightly and improve on your mistakes. It's important to keep a positive outlook and treat each opportunity like a fresh start, because no matter how it may seem the hard work will most likely pay off.

What do you like about your job and the company?
Back in school my favorite subjects were Mathematics and Economics, I enjoy working with numbers and money, so the financial work highly interests me. I also really enjoy working with people, building relationships and connections. Working in a team environment gives me an opportunity to make an impact on people and the business, which is one of my biggest goals. One of my motivations is to get to position to influence the business processes, and improve efficiency and sustainability in the company.
Greatest achievements
I was so grateful to be given the opportunity to go to London, and be one of 4 people to take part in a a photo and video shoot for EY. The whole day was an amazing experience, with an external branding team managing the shoot on the day. I made good connections with everyone there, and put myself out there for future opportunities. Definitely one of the biggest achievements during my career to date, despite it being not that long.

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!

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.
