HLB Sydney has a hot desk policy, so I am able to sit with different people each day. This gives me the chance to socialise and mingle with everyone in my team.
I join a live Webex session as part of K&L Gates' in-house Graduate Training Program. This is about researching caselaw. I was grateful to take away many handy tricks for researching case law - I wish I had known these tricks at uni!
The undoubted highlight of the Career Compass Program is having the opportunity to speak with a diverse group of people who were so passionate about their roles but the EY organisation.
We have a weekly meeting with our team and a fortnightly meeting with our broader team to give updates on what we are working on. This also gives everyone the opportunity to flag if they are having issues with something or if they will need more help.
Be prepared for the interview process. First impressions are super important and a little bit of preparation will go a long way to make you feel confident and bring your best self on the day.
More people with diverse perspectives and ways of thinking through problems, increases the likelihood that different solutions can be discussed, and ultimately increases the likelihood that the team can devise the most appropriate solution.
