  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • When on placement I am involved in multiple different tasks. This varies day to day as it depends what client I am booked on and if I am working from client site or the PwC offices. Usually in an average working day I attend meetings with my team, complete EGAs and complete any other admin work that other members of the team need assistance with.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have developed multiple existing skills throughout placement with PwC, such as communication, time management and organisational. I have had to communicate with a variety of people, from managers within my team to the clients finance directors. I have had to balance amounts of work and meet specific deadlines, therefore having to choose carefully what tasks take priority in order to be the most efficient.
