KPMG 2010 Summer Intern: Q&A

雖然甫一開始就猜到了結果，但我還是堅持申了，為的是自己曾經在圖書館死啃CPA的那段日子。

Question 1 - Please give a brief summary of your current recreational and leisure activities, including sports and hobbies.

Generally, I'm in favour of long-distance bike trips, with the longest distance kept in record being 61.7 km (round-trip). Besides strenghthening my body, this hobby enlarged my eyesight, discovering diversed beauty of this city. Above all, my ability of identifying routes and direction got reinforced.

Question 2 - What clubs and societies are you a member of and in what capacity?

During my sophomore year, I was a member of Cycling Association of the university. Though titled as a general staff, I still participated in the organization of 7 large-scale major bicycle trips. Through the experience I learned how to collaborate with other staff to assure evey trip's success.

Question 3 - What factors have influenced your career choice?

Basically, my current career choice is to work as an auditor. It is influenced by the following factors:
a. My desire of personal independence. Auditing emphasizes independence requirements on its staff, stimulating me for thorough growth;
b. The self-cultivated interest of my major. I've been self-studying CICPA courses
c. Endurance of my physical strength. I used to ride from my dormitory to the KPMG Guangzhou Office, which only took me less than 2.5 hours.

Question 4 - Outline your career ambitions and objectives.

Based on the career choice above, my career ambitions and objectives are listed as follows.
Career Ambition: Being an excellent professional in both public accounting and corporate finance.
Career Objectives:
i. Completing a smooth identity transformation, from a student to an audit staff;
ii. Forming a systematic and logical understanding of auditing, corporate finance, and capital markets.

Question 5 - At KPMG our global values guide the way that we interact with each other and help to create our open, friendly and supportive culture. Please tell us about a situation where you have used two of KPMG's values to achieve a positive outcome.

During my freshman year, I was elected in-charge of academic affairs of the class. Facing classmates in transition to college life, I mainly took the following measures to form academic atmosphere in the class.
a. I kept picking and sharing technical articles to them, and:
b. I carefully ran the daily attendance review, filing regular statistics report to my supervisor.
Finally, I was awarded for my work. Moreover, I saw my classmates teamed up, and got the first prize in the 1st Financial and Accounting Competition on Apr 29th, 2010.
