  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte

    • Just do it! Make sure you take the time to refine your resume/CV, in interviews show enthusiasm and curiosity to learn more, and make sure to show and not tell. They don't care if you just tell them you have teamworking skills - show them! Even if you are not from a finance/accounting background, don't let that hinder you from applying - Deloitte just want people that are eager to learn, take on feedback, takes initiative and works well within their teams.
