  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • The week consisted of an induction day, 3 days of shadowing and an assessment centre day. The 3 days of shadowing consisted of 1.5 days in Tax and 1.5 days in TS. In both departments I was given client projects to work on and got to use excel and other programmes. We got paired with a buddy who helped us complete our taks, although everyone in the office was more than happy to help.
