KPMG Australia Graduate Stories

Reach out to people working in the fields you are interested in to get advice (we don’t bite!)

Don’t compete with anyone but yourself. Everyone’s race is different and our finish lines are all different too.

We have all failed at some point, so if you don’t get accepted on the first try, brush it off and try again.

Don’t panic if you don’t have it all sorted out. Take opportunities that are given to you, and find people you respect the advice of. That is the best guide!

Be honest with your shortcomings, no one is perfect out of university, we are all constantly learning and evolving, watch and learn how others do things.

Say “YES” more. A lot more. You never know what’s behind the door until you open it, so just do it.

As a consultant, the more I excel and contribute to projects the more I could proceed to becoming a senior consultant leading engagements or deliverables for clients.

It is important to remember that university is not just about the content you will be learning, it is about the skills you will be developing.

My decision to apply for a career within corporate tax stemmed methodically from my decision to study a law and business degree at university.

The firm invests a lot in the development of its people, so as long as you are willing to learn, KPMG will help you get to where you want to be.
