  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • There was not a job role. As this was a work experiance, I got an insight of the daily work that goes on in a business environment. In the first week,we had to complete logs on the activities we did such as the Dragon's Den. In the second week, I had to shadow teams who worked in different departements such as human resources or marketing.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • It was very fun as I got to meet new people and we had to present a pitch for Dragon's Den as a team which was exciting.Everyday day,there were tasks which were somehow related to networking with other people so we had to communicate with people we had never talked to before.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by EY?
  • It was one of the best experiences of my life as I didn't think I will be privileged with this kind of opportunity. I think in the second week, I was more noticed by the staff as for each ectivity I was allocated a different person from different department who shadowed me for a full hour.
