Smart Future Student Review

The most enjoyable thing about the work experience was that every day was different in the sense that we were not always in the EY office. We went to other organisations e.g. Creamline. However, when we were in the EY office, we partook in several workshops designed to facilitate our skills. It also consisted of working on the level 2 CMI qualification.

I gained a level 2 CMI qualification at the end of it which is great. I developed presentation skills through a number of presentations that we had to do but also team working skills along with problem solving skills

I really enjoyed the work experience as each day was unpredictable. I learnt a lot about EY and the kind of services it offers. The experience also allowed me to improve my networking skills and met a lot of people which I am friends to this day.

Everyone was treated fairly and felt as though that I was valued. I was given vouchers to purchase food but at the same time received remuneration for the work experience!

I would say every day was planned very well and well timed as each day we went home on time which shows the level of planning that goes to ensure that the timings are sound.

When it came to writing our powerpoint for the CMI qualification, I received feedback after feedback to ensure that I did pass the qualification. So I did receive a lot of help when I needed it.

I was given a tram ticket that cost £12 in the third week of the programme for my work experience. So I did receive financial support when I needed it to travel to the place that I undertook the work experience. However, for the first two weeks, I did not require support to travel to the EY office.

EY has hosted a number of alumni events in order to catchup with friends. It has also hosted an event to provide certificates for the students that worked hard.

Yes

I gained a lot of practical skills and has allowed me to become a more 'employable' individual and so would recommend it to anyone who has no work experience as I did not at the time.

Don't fear the application process. If you do get an interview, the interviewer is on your side. If you forgot to answer the second part of the question, the interviewer is there to ask it you again.
