A day in my life at Accenture
The day starts with a meeting over coffee. Once I am on client site, where the bulk of my project team is based, whilst clearing my emails, I receive a call from a client counterpart on a new requirement on a deliverable that is going live in a week!

Lunch with my team is spent discussing plans to meet up for beach volleyball on the upcoming weekend.

Post lunch, I check back with the client on comments they might have for various deliverables. I also attend a weekly project status update meeting.

Finally, I attend an exercise class at the nearby gym and end the day with drinks at a nearby bar with project mates.

Best experience with Accenture
Core Analyst School. Spending a fortnight in Kuala Lumpur earlier this year on a training course with fellow analysts from all over the Asia Pacific region was a truly irreplaceable experience.

What attracted you to Accenture?
Accenture reaches out to different industries and regions, thus providing an enriching career as well as giving me the opportunity to play a central role in helping clients become high-performing businesses. One of the most interesting aspects of Accenture is; no single project is similar, therefore you are always being challenged to take on new roles and responsibilities.

What are your proudest achievements at Accenture?
I was placed on a SAP project with limited SAP knowledge. Communication with the client was essential for me to establish their requirements and to have a common understanding of the goals and expectations. This allowed me to eventually develop a report which not only met the client’s requirements, but was also a feasible solution that could be implemented.

The challenge was to learn SAP/BW in a short period of time, Thankfully, Accenture’s online training materials helped in establishing the fundamentals. However, the support, constant guidance as well as coaching from my experienced peers were the most important factors in helping me with this challenge.
