Q1 Why have you selected PwC as the place to start your career? (maximum 500 words)

I wish to choose PwC as the place to start my career for four main reasons. The first three reasons are PwC’s leading position in the professional service industry, the high satisfaction of its employees and the diverse training and development opportunities. These are opportunities and benefits that PwC would offer me, and that would allow me to grow quickly at the beginning of my career. The last reason is PwC’s active participation in social activities. This is the area where I can contribute and add value to the company’s efforts for social responsibility and engaging in improving the business environment.

With its global revenues climbing by 10% to $35.4 bn in 2015, PwC regained the title of the biggest accounting firm in the world. The two-digit growth and the highest revenues among other major accounting firms show the strong competency and the leadership PwC has in the professional service industry. Starting my career in such a competitive organization will not only provide me with a great opportunity to work with and learn from talented and experienced people, but also allow me to get insight in different industries by working with various leading clients (418 Fortune Global 500 companies and 443 FT Global 500 companies) that PwC serves.

Besides of the leading position in professional service industry, PwC is also recognized as the most attractive work place according to the survey of Universum. At PwC, more than 80% of people feel proud to work there, and more than 70% will recommend PwC as a great place to work. This leads me to believe that working at PwC will definitely become the most unforgettable experience in my career.

The training and development and the international career experience offered by PwC are also of great importance for me. Within the first three years at PwC, the training program allows me to acquire knowledge towards professional qualifications, and apply them into practice simultaneously. Additionally, PwC's EPIC program provides the possibility to gain experience and develop adaptability by working in a multicultural environment and solving problems across borders.

To build trust in society and solve important problems, PwC and its people also devote their efforts into important public areas such as climate change, community activities and helping social enterprises. This is perfectly matched with my expectation of future work, which is that my work contributes to add value to both the company I work with and the society I live in. Working at PwC means not only solving problem of clients, but also helping to make a better business environment and a more sustainable world.
