Over the past 2 days, I had the pleasure of taking part in the Spring into Deloitte - Women in Tax programme. On the first day, we learnt how to become a top professional covering everything from interview skills to perfecting our CVs. We learnt more about life at Deloitte, hearing from members of the diversity networks and those currently on the Graduate Programme. It was especially inspiring to hear from some female partners, who shared their experiences of moving up through a male dominated workplace, and learn about how Deloitte has supported them. On the second day, we were presented with a case study and acted as consultants to our client. We pitched our ideas to Deloitte partners and received very helpful feedback about how to improve our public speaking skills. I would like to thank Aisling Wright-Goff and Paul Gurney for leading the event and providing us with their invaluable advice. A special thanks also to Lois Wilson, Harpavan Khaira and Georgina Hewson for organising the programme, taking the time to get to know each of us and becoming friendly faces at such a large event. I have met some amazing young women over the past two days and would finally like to thank those I got the opportunity to collaborate with. I hope we can work together again in the future! #springintodeloitte
