A Postcard from PwC: History and Geography

How I use Geography in my work now:

• I use my Geography GCSE (and degree) to research and then analyse my findings draw my own conclusions and making recommendations
• My written skills from reporting writing and making sense of complex data sets and ideas come into play daily, whether that’s on email, a blog or a report itself for my clients
• From carrying out fieldwork, I can plan ahead and solve problems practically, a skill that is used everyday with a variety of colleagues

My highlight of my job so far

• My highlight so far has been working with colleagues across the business, championing our social mobility activity across the firm
• Organising a fundraising event with my client and PwC teams, raising funds for the PwC Foundation

If I went back in time what piece of advice would I give my 14 year old self?

I would think about what subjects I feel passionate about. Learning more about a subject that you are interested in makes the process much easier and you’ll land a job you love doing.
