Please join me in congratulating ourAdelaide intern Azuka on securing a Senior Accountant role in the Auditing andAssurance team in one of the Big Four accounting firms. She did her level 1internship and interview training here with us.
Azuka migrated to Australia as a skilledmigrant with experience from overseas and wanted to get exposure to the localworking environment as soon as possible. However, she came to realise that heroverseas experience did not mean much without local experience to back this up.
She then joined the internship program andwithin 2-3 months of her job hunting, she was able to secure a position with abig 4 firm.Our Senior Accountant highly recommended her for theposition. Internship experience with Platinum is the only local experience shehad. She was kind enough to give all our interns some feedback on her interviewand job hunting experience. The HR department did not send the job offer untilthe satisfactory reference was obtained from Platinum Accounting.
Being proactive in your job hunting andknowing how to tick all the right boxes professionally is critical to making astart in the local accounting industry.
Hope her experience can encourage youthrough your job hunting as well. Please look through her feedback and findsome useful information to prepare for your interviews.
