From Warwick to The Big 4; Education, The Working World & The Transitions Of Life. A Conversation with CERYS // Pt 2
Welcome to Part 2!
In this part we focus on the transition from education into the working world and how to get yourself to where you want to be :))
Cerys shares with us her application process into The Big 4 and how she secured her competitive graduate scheme. It's so interesting to talk about how companies are increasingly using digital technologies and their own aptitude tests to determine which candidates proceed to the next stages. We talk about what working life is like for Cerys at 'a leading global provider of audit and assurance, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory tax, and related services' ;) Cerys really does give us such a real insight into what it's like to work at one of the world's largest accounting & consultancy firms.
We reflect on the use of Cerys' degree in her current working life (spoiler, it's barely anything) and consider what it really means to go to university nowadays. It's particularly interesting to hear Cerys talk about the 18 year olds who've just left school but learn alongside her and other graduates.
Towards the end of the episode we explore the idea and feeling of 'Purpose' ; knowing why you're doing something at a particular point in your life and having it feel right. As someone who took an unexpected 'gap year' it's so interesting to hear Cerys' thoughts on it and how she wished she had taken one - team Gap Year all the way!
Thank you so much Cerys for coming on the show and sharing your experiences and thoughts with us in such an open, honest and insightful way. I absolutely loved our conversation & I learnt so much and I'm pretty sure everyone who listens to this podcast will to :) Don't forget to follow Cerys on instagram @cerysparnell ) and ofc ... Linkedln! @Cerys Cooksammy-Parnell.
Finally, thank you to you guys, our amazing listeners. Honestly, it makes me so happy that you listen and enjoy the show :)) As always, please do let me know your thoughts on today's episode or the show in general by messaging us @thisisnotthedariashow ( Insta & TikTok ) or emailing us , [email protected] ;)
Wishing you all health & happiness.
See you soon!
