Intuit Accountants’ Post

I came across a controversial article titled, "I had to beg to go into the office": is the grad scheme dead? The article highlights some concerning experiences some graduates have had and what some employers are expecting from them. However, from my experience, this article is far from the truth. The clients I work with invest significant time and money, provide support and development to the graduates we place with them. I'm interested to hear about your experiences on your graduate schemes. Share your thoughts in the comments below. #graduates #graduateschemes #article Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/e8-rYBR8

🎓 To all the newly qualified Chartered Accountants preparing for campus placements next week: Remember, finding the right job is more important than finding the quickest one. It's natural to feel a bit anxious when we see our peers securing positions but keep in mind—this isn’t a race to see who can get there first. Your first job will likely set the tone for your career, and it should be one that aligns with your values and aspirations. I've seen professionals turn down multiple offers in pursuit of the ideal fit. Their patience and diligence paid off, leading them to roles where they’ve found both success and satisfaction. So, to all the fresh Chartered Accountants, I wish you the best of luck. May you find your dream job and be successful professionals.

Long back, when I was sitting in the campus placements! I used to really dread one part - Group Discussions.. I would have attended more than 25 GDs in my summers and finals. Some before getting into the MBA as well! And broadly came to the conclusion that GDs are largely lotteries. Most of the times - Companies use it in the process because they do not have a way to shortlisting from a large list of applications. Imagine you ask for resumes, and get 100s of similar looking resumes. Top B-school, everyone has done wonders in graduation, some position of responsibility, similar projects. How does the hiring manager shortlist? Some resumes are obvious shortlists, while few are clear rejects. For everyone else, you conduct a GD. The onus is now on students to get selected. Then the whole challenge of how does one participate in a GD. In one GD, I was sitting quietly, and the person shouting the most got selected. In another, I was vocal, and the person quietest got selected :) So if you are sitting in GDs and not going through the next round, do not take the GD results to heart. They do not necessarily reflect how good or bad you are. Of course you should prepare. But you can only control your effort. The outcome is not in your hands. ----- Peeyush Chitlangia, CFA I help students and professionals enhance their career in #finance Do reach out if you are looking to upskill yourself!

🎓 Congratulations to all those graduating this summer! 🎓 Did you know the fastest-growing job type for new graduates on LinkedIn was a solicitor, with the biggest percentage increase in filled roles between 2023 and 2022? Research from LinkedIn’s Guide to Kickstarting Your Career showed university leavers were also looking to become finance specialists and auditors. Research analysts and investment banking analysts also made the top ten list. ⬆️ Our tip to grads: It’s important to understand how to differentiate yourself when applying for jobs this summer.    #Graduation2024 #CareerKickstart #Graduates

We all analyze our plans when we fail - What went wrong? Had I not worked hard enough? Where did I lacked? What to Improve further ? And the questions are endless............But But...........We never analyze our plans once we get pass........Why so?...........Isn't it important to remember how you achieved your goal What actually went right ? How much hard we worked? How we Overcome our weaknesses? And most importantly - Who were the people who actually supported you during the journey ? I feel these questions are equally important, Since the feeling of self appreciation and happiness are the best motivators in themselves. So to all my freshly qualified Chartered Accountant friends-- Irrespective of How much package you get in todays campus placement.....Be Proud of yourself and feel satisfied.......Since the race continues until we die #Lookback #Analysis #Beproud

Did you know, the Professional Year program from #PerformanceEducation increases your chance of employment? The proof is in the numbers, with over 10% more international graduates gaining employment after the Professional Year course in the IT, accounting and engineering fields.

Yesterday it was about the lack of apprentices. Today it is underutilised, unhappy graduates. We seem to be at a real turning point about how we help people at the start of their careers get into work. Maybe too soon to say a crisis, but getting there. Some of the quotes and stats in here are serious. The HESA and ICE numbers on satisfaction and retention are a worry but stop in 2021 so will be interesting to see what next. Both show an approx 10% drop but will be confounded by COVID. The quotes are hard hitting and up to date. The sentiment is not unusual in our experience. “I’m bored,” a civil service project manager on the fast stream said. “I haven’t got anything on today.” “From the very start, the job they put me in was just like a filler role,” he said. “They wouldn’t let me in the office … I had to beg to go [in]. And if people aren't busy they won't be learning and won't be progressing capability or adding enough value to get paid better. This is a tragedy for the graduate. This is also a massive failure from the hiring organisation and UK plc. Some firms do do a great job still, but we need to do better in general. ____ We are currently sharing a series of articles on what the best are doing and how to get early careers to work for the organisation and the starter.

Graduate programs can be an excellent way for junior candidates to climb the career ladder whilst also figuring out exactly what career path they want to take. The finance industry is known to have great graduate schemes that offer variety and experience, however, they can be difficult to get on due to: — a high volume of applicants. — advanced entry requirements. — nepotism within corporate industries, making graduate schemes harder to access for those who are from disadvantaged backgrounds. In our latest OFS blog, we explore actionable tips for organisations and candidates to ensure a more fair and equitable selection process for Finance graduate programs. #WeAreOFS #GratuateSchemes #FinanceIndustry
