KPMG Australia Graduate Stories

I cannot stress this enough: take leaps and get involved. Play sports, work casually, volunteer for a cause you’re passionate about, join a social club or society. Long gone are the days when you would do a degree and finish with a job waiting for you.

Just because you’ve started full-time work, this does not mean you need to give up what you love. Work and/or study are just one part of what we do – take the opportunity to pursue whatever else may motivate you.

My whole team, regardless of level, is incredibly supportive of professional development in terms of ability to deliver, but also in coaching me on how to be a professional.

Every day is different, and I have become quite comfortable with not knowing what the next day is going to hold.

Being a graduate in 2020 has been challenging, but my team has been there every step of the way to support my learning and growth.

If you’re considering a career with KPMG, you can expect a work environment that is flexible, dynamic and energetic.

At every point I felt like KPMG cared about who I was and wanted to ensure that I’d fit in well.

Never be afraid to ask for help. You are not expected to know everything immediately.

As a consultant, the more I excel and contribute to projects the more I could proceed to becoming a senior consultant leading engagements or deliverables for clients.

It is important to remember that university is not just about the content you will be learning, it is about the skills you will be developing.
