  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I loved it, I would recommend anyone looking into Financial planning should apply for a placement here. Great starter role into the industry, ensuring that I got a taste of the corporate world but in a controlled and monitored environment so I was never lost or stressed. I can't thank the team enough at Mazars, from the Proposition Team, to the People and Development team. It is a fantastic company

  • Ensure you select the service line that interests you the most, there is a broad range of possibilities at Mazars. In terms of the application: just be yourself, the emphasise that the process is just as much you finding out whether you want to work there as it is the company finding out if you the right person for the job.
