On the last day of my internship I met with the head of resourcing, Ms. Mona, whom gave me great advice on rejoining PwC. Although the course I am currently enrolled in is very much in line with my career path, Ms. Mona mentioned that it will not be enough to compete with the thousands of applicants in a highly competitive job market we are currently in. She advised me to complete my professional papers as quick as possible to be in demand and the choice of professional paper should suit my learning style. On top of that she reminded me that while I am still in university I should try my best to keep my grades up.
Aside from the knowledge I will need, I should also improve on my soft skills like communication and people skills. This is obviously something that cannot be learned by reading a text book or sitting for a lecture on it. No, it is something that I must constantly improve on through practice and experience. It is crucial for me to master these two aspects especially when dealing with clients or working with a team. My experience at PwC has definitely helped me come out of the shell I usually take shelter upon but I believe there is always room for improvement.
