Coffee Chat 与你分享

1.

What is your current job at PwC and what does your everyday work life look like in lockdown? 

对pwc 来说影响不是特别大,业务没有减少。对financial service 没有什么影响。

现在的工作内容主要是internal finance associate,主要做一些 financial analyst,关于tracing invoice等内部财务工作。

Lockdown之后其实对个人来讲,在家工作跟之前其实还是差不多,因为之前 every everything is normal的时候,也是Couple of days per week在家工作的状态。唯一的不同大概就是you don’t see other people like physical presence。没有那种 physical relationship building的感觉。不确定别的业务有没有受到影响,但个人感觉 lockdown可能减少了小企业的工作量。

The earth it seems to be no more as before。

2.

What is the biggest challenge you encountered during your career?

Invoices 收到比较难

现在的工作的话,应该可能就是有时候你需要invoice,想要 aid invoice some time。这种时候就会比较困难,因为现在 pandemic大家可能回复的比较慢。

而且类似的这道题 Pwc的 VI也出过,如果 new problems in getting response from other people them … 这是一个很practical的 question,就是你像 the building relationship,但现在线下又见不了,所以说只能就是通过网上见面。

Build client relationship 会比较难

在前期的视频会议之后有一个比较全新的印象,但是之后维持一个频率很好的关系会比较困难。一般不可能每个月都跟客户有一个meeting,因为对方角度可能会觉得没有那么必要去每月线上会议。主要看个人怎么去维护关系,一开始可能会有点难。但是这一切需要时间,有一个过程来认识大家。

3.

What kind of internal training is available for big4 employees apart from professional qualification training?

每个公司都有internal training resources, 方方面面可能涉及到Excel& cyber awareness等等,如果有你想学但是没有的资源,也可以向经理申请,

另外平时公司会发邮件,组织skills building seminar 和定期的分享New training resources,当然,资源会给到你,如果你愿意去构建自己的技能树最好,没有时间不安排也是可以的。

4.

You have had such exciting career to date- what would be one tip you would give to our candidates?

第一要有Determination!

很多时候 People receive a lot of rejections at the beginning and there will be put off at this, You can accumulate the experience then do better next time。最主要是 Apply as much as you can;

第二要Plant head!

Have a better career path;规划并在面试中证明自己。

最后,要去不断的锻炼和提升自己,比如如果内向害羞,可以做对应的项目来锻炼自己输出的能力。
