Career Advice: How to Turn a Vacation Programme into a Job Offer
- The “5-Day Interview”: Treat every day of this programme as an interview. Partners and Managers are observing your attitude, your willingness to learn, and your ability to work in a team.
- Ask “Why” and “How”: Don’t just follow instructions. If you are asked to perform a task, ask how it fits into the broader audit strategy. Showing that you understand the “Big Picture” signals that you have the potential to be a great auditor.
- Networking is Data-Gathering: Use the five days to find out if you actually like the culture at Moore. Do you like the way they work? Do they value work-life balance? Use the time to network with current trainees—they are your best source of truth about the firm.
