Ernst & Young says it strongly supports the CPA Australia Career Expo for one major reason: It offers a chance to explain how its corporate culture and career opportunities can appeal to motivated individuals whose professional future is limited only by their aspirations.
'The expo is a worthwhile channel that puts employers in touch with a rich pool of candidates,' says Michael Wong, Greater China people leader, Ernst & Young.
'Having been an exhibitor at the expo for several years, Ernst & Young has certainly seen the benefits of taking part.'
Wong adds that while job seekers can read basic information about career opportunities on the firm's website, nothing replaces a face-to-face discussion.
'The one thing people will not find on our website is how approachable and supportive we are,' says Wong.
'When expo visitors talk to us, they are able to get a feel for the future they might have with the firm, and, crucially, we can then explain how there are opportunities to progress a career in the direction that most interests them,' Wong says.
