Unitec Career and Employability Directory Profiles

I applied to a program called Tuputoa which offers Māori and Pacific Island students internships in the summer which landed me an interview with Deloitte. Since then, I received an offer as a graduate and have now been at Deloitte for 6 months and am loving every second of it.

Some of the most important skills are being able to get on with people, a hunger to learn and being open to new experiences.

Some solutions I have heard have been quite innovative which firstly helps the project and secondly helps me to grow my knowledge and problem-solving skills.

Being able to look into real-life, niche legal issues and form your own opinions about them is so cool.

I think that everyone’s personal background brings a diversity of thought to a profession where people are constantly collaborating and bouncing ideas off one another.

It is also cool how in a few years I still get the ability to be able to look back at the work I was part of and see how this helps the community. Moments like this give me a sense of reward and that all the hard work was worth it.
