    My advice would be to find skills you want to show and you think you exceed in, and relate these to yourself, and state how these relate to the roll you are applying for. Try to be specific on this too.

    Did you guys do any work experience or programmes before applying for your apprenticeship, and what type of skills did you take away from this?

    I did the work experience with EY which was called business academy when I did it but it's now called Career starters. I was lucky enough to get fast tracked onto the apprenticeship after this experience concluded. The biggest thing I would say with this is go into it with an open mindset, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    Hi Shrikar, I did the business academy with EY in the summer of year 12. I would say it taught me how to behave in a professional environment and gave me a huge insight into EY as an organization.
