Upper Sixth Former wins prestigious Deloitte scholarship

Charlie Ford writes: Since August last year I have been going through the process of applying to Deloitte’s Scholars Scheme and in March, I was really pleased to get an offer from Deloitte for their 2016/2017 scheme. The Scheme involves working with Deloitte in their London Office with their Graduate team, being given the same responsibilities and jobs as the graduates for 30 weeks. Afterwards you are given time and a bursary to go travelling, I would like to visit South East Asia. I believe the scheme will give me a much greater awareness of the business world and what it’s like to work in an office environment. It will also enable me to bring real world experience to studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at Oxford, who have allowed me to defer my place. The selection process involved: submitting a document to Deloitte listing my motivations for working there, followed by online critical thinking and numerical reasoning tests. I then had three interviews spread over this term and last which were a group exercise, a competency interview and a partner interview. I would really encourage anyone interested in the professional services to apply for this as it’s a great scheme while giving you time to have a good time travelling as well.
