Deloitte Student Ambassador

People: Jelaine Yong, Deloitte Student Ambassador

Deloitte Student Ambassador from NTU and Summer Intern 2015 Jelaine Yong shared her internship experience and her secrets to success.

NTU and Summer Intern 2015

I joined Deloitte as an audit intern in 2015. It was a challenging experience as I did not take any audit (or accounting) modules at that time. With the help of my mentors and seniors, who were always ready to share knowledge, I handled tasks that were usually done by full-time associates. Being in Audit offers me variety in my work, which I really like. I get to engage with different companies and learn about their business models and the types of accounting systems. During the actual analysis, I would use my newfound knowledge to explain any variance, and complete the testing. Even though it was only a short 6 weeks internship with Deloitte, I was able to hone my analytical skills and stretch my potential. There was always something new to learn every day!

After my internship, I was presented the opportunity to be a Deloitte Student Ambassador and I jumped on it! I was eager to share my Deloitte experiences with my peers and stay connected with Deloitte as I treasured the warm and friendly work environment.

I’m now back to being an audit intern, this time under the Deloitte Accelerated Career Programme (ACP). I joined the ACP because I felt that the programme was designed to equip its participants with the pre-requisite skills and knowledge to be independent and proficient in their job. While my Deloitte colleagues have always been supportive and willing to offer guidance, I am looking forward to the day when I can complete requested work with my own capabilities, and be in a position to mentor others. I am looking forward to the new challenges that would come my way.
