Exams, Christmas and Graduate Recruitment
1 December 2008
Hi Everyone - welcome to my blog. Just for everyone's info - I'm a stage 2 trainee at the Audit Commission and have just completed my second set of accountancy exams for CIPFA. I've been with the commission for over a year and its been going well.
I've just finished 3 weeks worth of intensive revision from exams, and have a lot of catching up to do. Currently shattered, exams do take it out of you, but glad they're over and glad to be back at work.
Got to prepare for a 1-2-1 with my line manager to discuss my progress and get some much needed feedback from my recent work. Given I was completing it whilst preparing for my exams, I'm preparing from some hard truths.
Currently preparing also for our Christmas do - over 50 of us and guess who's organising it. One tip - never volunteer for this job - loads of admin. However on the positive side I've had the joy of choosing venues I like. Thankfully everyone seems quite up for it. Need to get preparing for the after-bar / party. Its getting close and the senior auditors are turning up. Hopefully they'll put on a free bar :)
Also helping out with Graduate Recruitment next week. Apparently need to prepare for some sort of presentation / general talk with the new recruits. Need to get some additional info from the recruitment manager me thinks.
Otherwise its an admin day and preparation for a big audit starting next year. Currently can't wait till Christmas.
Speak soon everyone until the next time.
