Another week of work and fun!

Another week of work & fun! 
Where does the time go?  Well, coming up in the next couple of weeks, I will be out at clients doing interim testing.  Interim testing is typically going out to clients and performing controls testing and updating our understanding of their processes.  I actually really like controls testing and gaining an in-depth understanding of the client business processes.  It might not sound very fun, but you really do learn a lot about how companies operate, which can only be useful in the future.

Business Development and You

As you’ve learned by now, PwC is a big place with lots of people working for lots of clients in lots of industries. It’s one thing to be involved with the work that the firm does for its clients by being on engagement teams and it’s a totally different thing to be a part of the process of seeking out work for the firm. Staying abreast of events in the market and tracking company results is all part of what is known as Business Development and it is something that everyone at the firm becomes responsible for as members of the PwC team at large.

A night out with the recruits

So yesterday was the PwC Wine and Cheese where we had a chance to have all the new recruits out for a glass of wine, some nice appies, and a chance to get to know them outside of the interview room. It was a lot of fun and we can’t thank the recruits enough for coming out.
