Anyway I went to my CIB100 class just now, as per normal..and today they have this
guest speaker from PWC..wow! that's cool right.his name is Daniel Duncalf a
Senior Manager of PWC...he talks about how he got a job there and his
stakeholder stuff that relates to our assignment.. so when he finished his
talk, I went to him to have a little chat about life in Big 4 and explaining
him my kinda situation where I want to work in Big 4 but I'm already bonded to
DRB-Hicom for 10 years (T.T)...he told me 2 most important things that I want
to share with all my readers...this is something that we really need to do/have
coz this is not words from our lecturer, this is from the big man.if u get what
i mean..
1. Get good grades in your exam/degree as a whole. Just pass is not good
enough to be in big 4.
2. Be active. Big 4 doesn't want a nerd that studies 24/7, be it in the
library or at home. they want an employee that is active, can communicate and
interact with people because employees are at the front line.
see...that is pretty much it...now i've shared the tips from the real guy
to you guys ..don't forget to share it to others ok?
