The clock is ticking – only two days until we close applications to join our graduate scheme in 2016! For some last-minute help with your application form, we’ve dug out a blog post from our previous trainee Hannah.
There are three stages when applying to the NAO graduate scheme: the application, the first interview and the assessment centre. My colleague Laura has already blogged about her experiences of the assessment centre, and I will give you some tips for the initial stage, the application itself. more… Getting over that initial hurdle: Tips for your NAO application formTagged: Application form, Application process, Application tips, Competencies

As final audit begins and my intake approaches the end of our training contracts, it seems like a fitting time to reflect on the past couple of years at the NAO. When you join the office, you start as an AA1 (Assistant Auditor, year 1) and each year you move up a step to AA2 and AA3. You get a pay rise for each of these steps. On completion of the ICAEW exams, you are promoted to Auditor and once you have fulfilled all of the requirements of the ICAEW and finished the three-year training contract, you will be considered for promotion to Audit Principal. more… Progressing through your training contract: From AA1 to AuditorTagged: ACA qualification, Financial audit, Support, Training

The week ended with a bang with a talk by Roger Black on teamwork. more… Learnfest ’14: A week full of learning, tips and tricks -

As trainees, we often get the chance to help at recruitment events such as the assessment centre lunches, recruitment videos and graduate fairs. Those events offer a great opportunity for us to answer any questions that applicants might have. After all, we’ve been through the same process already and can (hopefully!) offer some advice on how best to get through it. As you might have realised we are pretty active on social media, so we thought it might be a good idea after all to get in touch with you on there, too, as a way to answer your questions in real time. So, in October, we launched our very first Twitter Question & Answer session, and I was part of it! more… #AskNAOgradsTagged: Application process, Application tips, Social media
