“It’s really good that even as graduates we are exposed to all different levels of work if we are keen. Moreover I really appreciate the fact that we get guidance directly from the directors here at William Buck.
I really enjoyed my work at William Buck as a grad last year as even though the borders were closed, I got the chance to travel a lot around WA for different audits. I am looking forward to the next level of work and be more comfortable and confident in doing work which the intermediates and seniors mostly do.”
