My colleagues and I would like to talk to you today about a part of KPMG that you might not be as aware of.

When we go and solve client's business issues, they need to have a  technology component to it, and we're right at the heart of that.

So listen today to what some of my colleagues have

to say about why they chose KPMG as a  place for their technology career.

I can't think of other industry that's changing so rapidly.

My job role is helping a client understand where they can source

particular types of technology from, and who are the providers in the market.

You work on a large variety of projects, so I've done work which includes working on

pitch work which is trying to gain new work with clients.

It can then go on to anything from, the strategy to a huge technology transformation.

As well as understanding the requirements of the client and coming up with the best and most effective solution.

One of the misconceptions about working in technology

is that you need to be able to code, and I don't think that's actually the case at all.

The range of skill sets and degree disciplines  we take in, is vast.

I don't have a technology degree, I did a law degree.

Degree background itself, doesn't really play much of a part.

The other myth is that it's just very male dominated as an industry.

I was pleasantly surprised when I came in to find that there were

actually quite a few women that were on the graduate program and it wasn't entirely men.

Culturally or gender-wise having a balanced team, having different people

bring different ideas, different ways of thinking to solve the solution, it is the key thing.

I love working at KPMG, I've had fantastic training from the

beginning. You can really feel a real investment in your personal growth as a grad.

I've just rolled off the grand scheme after three years, worked on seven different clients. You're so

lucky that you can pick and choose what you'd like to do and there is so much choice.

In terms of where your career can go, the opportunities are abound.

People can grow in a way that they want to, to get a really happy, fulfilling and satisfying career.

KPMG offer a lot of support. So when I first came I was given a buddy, a mentor.

and discover different roles, find your niche, where do you like to be, what do you like to do and just drive your career from there.

I'm learning every day it's a fun collaborative environment to be in, it's a great place to be.

We would really love it if you could join us as well.
