The University of Liverpool Management School hosted its annual Big 4 Bootcamp, giving students the chance to gain industry insight and develop crucial employability skills.
On the day, students heard from an alumni panel who talked about their pathways into the Big 4:
- Cáiti Hudson, Senior Associate for Financial Services Assurance at EY (Accounting and Finance with a Year in Industry class of 2023)
- Sallyann Sweeny, Assistant Manager for Financial Modelling at KPMG UK (Accounting and Finance class of 2020)
- Thomas Edwards, Associate at PwC UK (Accounting and Finance class of 2025).
The panel provided tips on enhancing job applications, preparing for interviews and discussed the skills and experience top firms look for in applicants, including:
- Technical, including AI and Excel
- Effective communication and relationship-building
- Engagement in extracurricular activities that demonstrate strengths beyond academic work.
Students took part in a mock assessment centre, and received feedback from Junfu Chen, Senior Manager for Banking Operations and Domain Solutions at Deloitte and Michael Tomenson, Early Career Talent Specialist at EY.
Events like this reflect the Management School's strong industry links and provide our students the opportunity to develop their employability skills, grow their professional networks and gain industry insight.
