1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role at the moment is a student, this involves me on a day-to-day basis going to lectures and studying. It allows me to have a bridge between college and entering the working life.

I would say the course has given me great opportunity to develop my existing skills as well as teach me new ones, especially through the supported sessions to emphasis the importance of these skills.

Yes

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?

Be yourself, enjoy all of the processes and be comfortable talking to others in order to make the most out of the application process and in order to showcase your true self to the best of your ability. I would also recommend to look at situations you have been in and to see what you have learnt and how this has developed you as a person. Accounting is a lot more then what people think it is, communication is a massive part of it which make the whole experience enjoyable.
