Top Insider Advice
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!

What do you like about your job and the company?
Throughout my time at EY, I have been fortunate to work with some great teams and individuals. Being part of a diverse and supportive team means I feel safe to express myself and try new things. My colleagues are more than just coworkers; they're friends and mentors who inspire me to continually improve and grow. It is always rewarding to overcome adversities as a team, and celebrate the wins. I look forward to continue building my network, so that I can learn from the experience of others and explore new opportunities.
Greatest achievements
As a keen baker, I am often seen in the office with freshly baked goods, and as part of EY's initiative to build a better working world, I have been able to take part in multiple fundraising events. As well as raising lots of money, my highlights include winning the EY Bake-Off, and creating a gingerbread robot (Rob-EY)! I really value working for an organisation that gives back to the community and encourages me to bring my full self to work.

Putting yourself out there can feel uncomfortable, but that’s where growth happens. It’s easy to stick with what you know, but stepping into the unknown is how you learn and expand your skills. For example, when I applied for the EY Degree Apprenticeship, I was nervous about putting myself in such a competitive environment. But the challenge of the application process pushed me to improve my skills, prepare thoroughly, and stay focused. While it was tough at times, the sense of achievement when I received the offer was unforgettable. Overcoming challenges like that builds confidence and shows you what you’re capable of. The more you embrace discomfort, the more you realize how much you can grow.

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

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.
