Hi Emily

10 December, 2020 16:35

Hello

10 December, 2020 16:35

I actually did my whole application online as well, so I did the job simulation myself

10 December, 2020 16:35

Oh great

10 December, 2020 16:36

I think one of the best ways to do it is to try and imagine yourself in the role and think how you would actually react to it, rather than trying to focus too much on what you think EY would want, as part of it is to also give you a sense of if you think you would enjoy working at EY

10 December, 2020 16:36

Also don't let it stress you and take your time to answer them

10 December, 2020 16:37

Okay thanks! What sort of things do you

10 December, 2020 16:37

Do daily

10 December, 2020 16:37

And how are you finding doing the ACA exams alongside working? assuming thats what youre doing

10 December, 2020 16:37

Are we going to be timed for the simulation test too?

10 December, 2020 16:38

Day to day at the moment is obviously slightly different to how it will be when we are in the office, but when I'm working on a client we tend to have a meeting in the morning as a group to catch up on how it's going. Then the tasks I do will vary each day but I will have a call with my manager who guides me on what to do, and is there to answer any questions I have throughout the day

10 December, 2020 16:38

I'm doing the ICAS exams, you get 6 weeks of college at the start where you sit the first 4 exams. Then you have 2 more later on, which you get another 2 weeks of self study for. So you are provided with the time to study which is a big help

10 December, 2020 16:39

Hi Emily - the job simulation stage of the application involves a few different exercises - you can find more about this stage on our website at https://www.ey.com/en_uk/careers/students/application-process - we also have application videos which provides hints and tips for this stage on our student page.

10 December, 2020 16:40

Oh that sounds great with the study leave - are ACA exams also an option?

10 December, 2020 16:41

Thank you Verity thats amazing

10 December, 2020 16:41

Hi Emily - All of our Assurance Apprentices and Graduates study towards the ACA (Chartered Accountancy) qualified!!

10 December, 2020 16:49

Brilliant thanks

10 December, 2020 16:50

Verity where can I find the application videos? and are there any practise questions?

10 December, 2020 16:57

Hi Emily - sure thing the application videos are on our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/EYUKCareers/videos

10 December, 2020 17:02

Hello, have a nice day)) I would like to learn how to become best prepared for applied to EY in the field of Assurance?

10 December, 2020 17:12

I think it's best to make sure you've researched EY and assurance so you have a good idea what it entails, and so you know if it is the right fit for you. They don't expect you to be an expert on it as we are starting from scratch, but they want people who are passionate about it, so make sure you can show that you are :)

10 December, 2020 17:14

All right, thank you mrs.Bethan M. I'm really passionate to work at EY for Assurance. May I learn the stages for application?

10 December, 2020 17:18

That's great - being passionate and fitting into EY's values is one of the biggest advantages you can have! I personally did my whole application process online - the first stage is the initial standard questions and psychometric tests. Then there is a job simulation after. If you pass all of these then you have a virtual assessment day - which isn't at all as scary as it may sound! Then if you are successful in all the stages you have a final partner interview

10 December, 2020 17:22

Thank you so much) May other country origins apply to visa needed countries?

10 December, 2020 17:25

Hi Jamila - what specifically do you mean?

10 December, 2020 17:27

I'm from Azerbaijan and if I want to work in Europe I need employee right for working?

10 December, 2020 17:28

Yes correct - you'd need right to work. Please check out our information on right to work at ey.com/uk/faqs and also the government website here https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration
