The reasonable start allowed for college work to be completed at the start of the day and the finish at 4:30 allows for work to be carried out after this program

Research the EY company and be sure to make notes on all of the tasks and briefs to make it easier when it comes to writing up feedback and the learning logs, also its good to use examples in interviews as a talking point
