    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The Insight was a 2-day programme, with the first day online and the second in the Birmingham office. On the first day, I learnt a lot about my service areas (S&T) and also the relevant ‘network’ for my background - I joined on the ‘women in business programme’ so learnt about the women’s network. I got the opportunity to hear from recent grads and experienced professionals about their jobs. On the second day, I undertook a mock assessment centre group task, as well as hearing from a Partner at the firm and also a panel discussion.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I developed my teamwork skills through the group task, as well as my adaptability, decision-making, and analytical skills. Also, I gained more confidence talking in front of a crowd and to professionals through asking questions and contributing to group and 1-1 discussions.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • The programme was very informative. I had lots of opportunity to hear from people who work at EY, not only experienced professionals, but also recent graduates who could give a great insight into the beginning of your career journey at EY. On the first day there was a deep dive into my particular service line in which I learnt about S&T in detail and about the kinds of roles available and work that is done, and a Q&A where I had the opportunity to find more out from an experienced professional.
