访谈录[Interview]2007-12-17:德勤：美国国防部的审计方

Deloitte is commonly referred to as just one of the big 4 accounting¹ firms. But when you look at how students consistently rank it in the top 25 of ideal employers, and when you go and meet their employees like we did, you'll quickly learn of their big 4 tag doesn't do a justice.

When I tell my friends that I work in an accounting firm their first response is that’s gotta be so boring. That could not be farther from the truth. I work with the most fun people I've met in my entire life.

Kate is a 23-year-old DePaul grad who now works in the audit² and ERS division at Deloitte Chicago office.

You'll get a lot of hands-on experience, you'll get to see all facets³ of the audit and you'll also get to work very close to higher-level people.

She began her career with Deloitte as an HR intern⁴ during her sophomore⁵ year, loved it and kept going, transferring to other departments and finally being offered a full-time⁶ job.

You know, I know several people that have been interns⁷ and have come back and the reason is because you feel like you're needed, you feel like you're doing work, you're not just there pushing paper or there getting coffee.

And Kate's experience is not unique. Deloitte takes on about 2,000 interns a year, and has over a 90% conversion⁸ rate into  full-time positions, one of the highest of any company.

One of the things we’re striving for is to ensure no one is given an intern or we have interns here who are not given meaningful work. It is a struggle at time depending on business cycles and activities, but they're really trying to get them exposed to client engagements, they're trying to get them exposed to what it’s like to work at the firms, so there are sometimes internal projects, because that's required of all of us as employees, but even getting the opportunity to commer, community services during the summer. So it’s really trying to give them here's what it would be like if you decide to join us upon graduation.

Borhani oversees⁹ all campus recruiting that staffs Deloitte’s 90 US offices.

Don't oversell, um personally again, be honest, be concise¹⁰, don't give the answers you think we wanna hear, give the answers you believe in. People who do interviewing, a great deal can really, quickly determine if someone is sincere and honest or if they’re telling you what wanna hear.

The company hires close to 4,000 new employees each year to work in their audit, tax, consulting or risk of financial advising sections and has year-round internship¹¹ opportunities.

Really what separates people is their passion, and those that display that we know will do very well, because they will embrace responsibilities and they'll go after things full force. So I encourage people to really focus on those things during the interview process.
