  • 1. Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
  • It involved listening to different talks held by members of particular teams for example, speakers for tax auditing gave us a scenario for which we had to as a group resolve. We also role played as a group and proposed our own recruitment company ideas to a ‘senior partner’ within our role play company.

  • 2. What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
  • The skills I learnt were invaluable, after having extensive talks from a man who explained to us how to talk and engage in interviews for example to how we can improve first impressions from small changes in our prior interview technique. Also I got to develop my speaking skills to a large crowd.

  • 4. How well organised was your work experience?
  • Very well organised, without a doubt, on the first day where we have our passports in to be checked over, to just the course of the day which was always well planned and thought out and always to schedule. I always felt aware of what the day ahead would entail which was great.

  • 7. Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
  • No I wasn’t because I lived near to where Deloitte was based so everyday I took the bus which is free for me. However, some of my friends that did live further and took the train and other forms of costly travel were reimbursed for all of their extra expenditure.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because it was a really great experience that I feel would benefit anyone my age, I feel like I grew as an individual and grew in confidence professionally and emotionally . It’s definitely worth it because at Deloitte you’re treated like an adult not just a student from school.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte?
  • To have fun and make the most out of the opportunity by pushing themselves out of their comfort zones. I think also really engaging with all of the activities and tasks set and taking them seriously so that you can take skills from the role play scenarios to the real world.
