A day in the life of PwC
Statement
"I cannot provide any photos or videos as I was on an online placement throughout. As I did my entire online internship, I haven’t been to a downline company and I have nothing to share. I do the work every week and watch the PowerPoint to learn what I need to know for the job. I don’t think there’s anything different from other people; we’re all workers. There’s nothing more to say.
?
To recap, as it is an online internship, I have a work project exchange with my internship supervisor every Monday via a WeChat meeting, which includes:
?
1.Reporting on my work from the previous week.
2.Whether I have encountered any problems in my work, asking questions and giving my opinion.
3.Setting up work tasks and study assignments for the following week.
My weekly flow was writing assessments, going to school, writing work reports and reporting on my work day after day until my placement ended in April. It was assembly line boring and even very exhausting due to the double pressure of school and work.
?
I’ve just told the story as it is without any falsehoods, which would be boring and unattractive, but it’s real and without any formalis.
Day 10 of the internship
Today was another boring day. I woke up at 10am to wash up, read the PowerPoint for today’s class at 11am, went to school for a lecture on celebrity culture at 1pm, and went to buy some frozen dumplings from the Chinese Superstore on the way back at 2pm. After eating the dumplings, I had to prepare for an online meeting with my internship supervisor to report on last week’s work assignments. After an hour-long meeting, I finished my assignment report and received the relevant work that I needed to read and complete this week. I played on my phone for a while, fell asleep, got up and wrote about 1000 words for my dissertation, went to play a game for about 2 hours to relax, and then read the work that I had done after the meeting with my internship supervisor today, formulated a general idea, studied the relevant knowledge points for this week’s work, and reviewed them. Sleep to end a boring and tiring day.
Finding a job can be difficult, especially for young people who are unemployed as soon as they graduate. I was in this situation before and chose to approach it differently than most students. While some find jobs through family connections or their own strength and luck, I decided to seek help from an internship agency or headhunter. Just like international students need a study abroad agent if they want to study abroad, I paid for an internship agency or headhunter to train me and help me learn about interviews online before I looked for a job. They also helped me with internal recommendations. It’s important to note that headhunters don’t get you internships all at once, and it may take a long time to submit applications to several companies at once. My first job was rejected, but I was lucky enough to get an interview with PwC for my second job. After I got through PwC, other companies came to interview me and I just naturally turned them down.
I’m sorry, but I cannot provide specific details about my job description because I signed a commercial confidentiality agreement before officially joining the company after passing the interview. However, I can tell that my job involved learning how to read a company’s annual report, learning about WACC, finance leasing, and company shareholding analysis form.
