Whats it like to learn while you work We asked the staff of EY - Debut

Whats it like to learn while you work We asked the staff of EY - Debut This article was written in collaboration with EY. Explore exclusive graduate and undergraduate opportunities at EY by downloading the Debut app.   They say your twenties will shape who youll be for the rest of your life. Youve probably also been told that youve pretty much stopped growing. I still vividly remember my world came crashing down at the age of 15 when my doctor surmised that I would be 5 ft 7 for the rest of my life. No basketball for me, I guess. The truth is you never truly stop growing (at least in all the ways that arent physical). Living goes hand-in-hand with learning, so if you thought you were headed downhill on the education curve just because you graduated, forget about it. When you start your first job, youll be learning constantly. Some lessons youll learn on your own, but the best employers will teach you themselves. You might think your days of sitting in a classroom are over, but at places like EY, its an integral part of your training as an early career starter. But whats it really like to learn while you work? To study for a professional qualification? To be in an environment that is both familiar and unfamiliar all at once? We asked four EY employees, all of whom got the chance to work towards chartered accountancy qualifications while finding their feet in an office environment. This is what they told us. How do you find the time? This is probably the million dollar question for anybody reading this article. Youre already on a super-competitive all consuming grad scheme. How are you supposed to study at the same time? Luckily, the best companies recognise the potential strain this can place on its bright-eyed new grads and make it easy to learn while you work. At EY, they designate clear periods for when youll be in the classroom learning and when youll be out in the field working. The audit grads found there was a  lot of crossover between what I learned in college and what I learned on the job. What I actually picked up out on client sites proved really useful the next time I was in class, said Mark Fruish, an audit senior. It definitely helped my understanding of what I was being taught. You dont have to worry about juggling two separate sets of information either. Everything you study is relevant coincides with your job. Your day-to-day duties provide a chance to put what youve learned in class to the test. My qualification overlapped massively with my day to day activities and still does, Helena Dowell, an assistant tax advisor, told me. Every day I see something that I have been taught as part of my ICAEW (Institute Of Chartered Accountants In England and Wales) course, whether that be a broad concept or something more technical. How the course goes down In the first two years, the average EY audit graduate will spend 6 months doing classroom-based activities and exams, while the remaining time is spent in the office. Although this includes 6 weeks of study leave before all examinations, the grads warned that this would still require a fair bit of motivation. It meant studying after work and on weekends, Kirsty Smith, an associate based in Scotland admitted. She  joined EY as a school leaver and studied for an ICAS (Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland) qualification. However, we were given reasonable time off which helped a lot. For all that classroom time, EY will make use of a college near to where they are based. For David Roden, a manager in EYs Forensic Team, his college was located in Bristol. It specialised in professional qualifications with consummate and well-informed professionals teaching the classes. The majority of them were accountants who had trained in large firms and had taught the course for many sittings, he said. This meant they were experts and knew exactly how the syllabus worked. The majority of the final year is spent on-site at clients, consolidating what youve learnt and topping up your practical experience. Its not quite being thrown in the deep end, but you will get wet, as the idea is to make sure you have all the skills and expertise expected of a chartered accountant. After that, all you need to do is pass the granddaddy of all assessment a mammoth five-and-a-half-hour written exam and youll be a fully fledged accountant. As daunting as that may sound, EY puts a lot of effort into its on-the-job coaching, so you never feel set adrift. For them, its important that all staff feel able to ask for assistance from anyone else on the team, from their peers to the partners, according to Mark. No hierarchies here! Why its all worth it As streamlined as the experience of getting professional qualifications is in most companies, its certainly no picnic. So why would anyone put themselves through it? Well, just like at university, its all about the employability. Doing a professional qualification teaches you  some all-important transferable and soft skills. Those are the things you dont necessarily know youre learning, but once you know them, you can apply them to a wealth of situations. Our accountant friends did learnt them many useful skills analysing large amounts of data, logically structuring arguments and the ability to problem solve. These skills do not at first seem that important or unique because at EY you are surrounded by other people who have similar skills, says David, However, in the employment marketplace these skills are in high demand and short supply which makes for an extremely powerful combination! A professional qualification can also broaden your horizons, much like it did for Helen with regard to finance. Before I started studying, a lot of finance language was over my head! she laughed. Now I take an active interest in the wider finance world and the impact that has on different businesses. Believe us when we say this: getting a graduate job is only the start. From then on, it  has  to be about your development. At a world-beating firm like EY, youll have the benefits of residential training in line with the latest developments in the industry on top of the opportunity to do professional qualifications. But even if this isnt your end goal, dont end up anywhere where youre going to stagnate. The best employers seek to increase your worth and to do that, you should always be learning.

Common Job Hunting Mistakes

Common Job Hunting Mistakes Job hunting isn’t easy, which is reason enough to get it right the first time. Whether you are looking to change jobs or you need a new career because you are unemployed, it makes sense that you try to get a job as quickly as possible. You don’t want to spend months trawling job hunting websites and applying for jobs, instead you want to be as successful in your job hunt as quickly as possible. When it comes to job hunting, many of us go about it in the same way and this means that we make the same mistakes. If you are searching for jobs but are being unsuccessful, then it is time to rethink your job hunting strategy and look at ways of helping to make your job hunt as successful as possible. One of the most common mistakes when it comes to job hunting is applying for too many jobs and spreading yourself too thin. You need to decide what career you want to follow and the jobs you want to apply for. It isn’t going to work for you just to apply for as many jobs as possible. You also need to make sure that your resume is suitable for the jobs you are applying for sell yourself! Don’t just have a resume that is generalized rather than being tailored towards a particular industry. That will do you no favors. Don’t just assume that the longer your resume is the better. Remember that potential employers are likely to be reading a number of resumes so they are going to scan them quickly rather than paying major attention to them. This means that if your resume seems too long or full of too much text, then they will be put off at first glance which is something that you want to avoid at all costs! Remember as well that job hunting isn’t easy for everyone, so make sure that you don’t give up at the first hurdle. There is a perfect job opportunity out there for everyone so you need to keep up the hunt in order to be successful in your quest for a brand new job or step up the career ladder.

Shark Tank The 5 Most Successful Investments

Shark Tank The 5 Most Successful Investments Since it premiered in 2009, Shark Tank has introduced the world to restaurant chains, smartphone apps, and, yes, the Squatty Potty. Products boasting an “As Seen on Shark Tank” sticker are found in Best Buys, CVSs, and Bed, Bath, Beyonds across the country, and show has a loyal following, with millions of viewers tuning in for each episode. The regular Sharks on the show, investors like Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran, have become household names. The show takes aspiring business owners who have an idea or product and lets them pitch five shark investors in roughly five minutes â€" and if they get an offer, it has the potential to make overnight success stories of regular people. It’s not an easy task, as the sharks certainly dish out a hefty dose of criticism and skepticism on every idea. But these five businesses prove that once you land a shark, or multiple sharks, you can seriously cash in: Buggy Beds All five sharks split a $250,000 investment in Buggy Beds, which produces a bedbug detection system. The products are currently available in over 20 countries, and the company pulled in an estimated $1.2 million in sales in 2016. GrooveBook Sharks Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary split a $150,000 investment for 80% licensing rights in this photo book-building app. The company was purchased by Shutterfly for $14.5 million in 2014, when it reportedly had more than 1 million downloads. Tipsy Elves Perhaps one of the most famous Shark Tank startups, Tipsy Elves sells ugly sweaters for all occasions. Shark Robert Herjavec offered the company $100,000 for 10% equity back in December 2013. Last year, the company’s revenues was estimated at $8 million. Squatty Potty Shark Lori Greiner offered the Squatty Potty team $350,000 for 10% equity. The company enjoyed a $1 million overnight bump after the show, and in 2016 brought in a reported $30 million in revenue. The original product line of “good posture toilet seats” has since expanded to include air fresheners and cheeky t-shirts. Scrub Daddy It wasn’t just Squatty Potty that’s brought Greiner some success. She offered $200,000 for 20% in Scrub Daddy, a kitchen sponge company that brought in a reported $50 million last year. That’s the most of any product to be featured on the show, according to Forbes. Since its Shark Tank success, Scrub Daddy has added a slew of new products, including the Scour Daddy, Sponge Daddy, and Eraser Daddy.
