2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, I have become much more analytical in my thinking. I have also developed my organisation and timing. I have learnt business etiquette and improved my networking skills. I am more confident in a corporate environment and more independent than I used to be

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

There has been a huge period of inactivity as far as getting a role and for a while I felt abandoned and I had to do things on my own to land a role which I didn't expect but currently I am very happy on my role and the university course is engaging.

9a. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Because you can make what you want of it. Nobody is going to tell you what to do or go out of their way to help you settle in but if you have the mindset of somebody that wants to be great and make the most of their circumstances, Accenture is a great company with a huge name and a great place to start in the corporate consulting world.

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

Research the company intensely and find current and/or past employees who can tell you their experience. Try as best as you can to find out if Accenture will be the right place for you. That may mean insight events or setting up meetings/calls with employees
