Hoai Thu - PwC app

Social activities must support me remarkably to not only combat stress but also complete my skills, especially teamwork ability. I have participated in a lot of activities but the accounting festival made me unforgettable. That event provided me an excellent chance to show how well my cooperation skill was. Through it, I am more confident in this skill as well as contributing to an ideal assurance post at PwC.

As a leader, my thirty co-operators and I had to face enormous troubles to gain the highest score. First, it was the first time I led such a large team. Some of us even had not met each other before. Besides, mutual relationship having a decisive role to play in team success cannot build up over night. Hence, this, initially, must bring out more difficulties in co-operating smoothly. Second, we prepared for that competition in lack of time. Differences in individuals’ schedules resulted in being hard to gather almost members. To solve those problems, my team listed needful tasks and classify them according to urgency. Then I divided my team into four small groups, appointed the heads as well. I gave each group its own assignment and asked them report work process at certain times. Those measures helped tackle the issues in preparation. However, the biggest challenge we must deal with lined in a wide divergence of opinion right before the contest. If we do not fill that gap, we must suffer failure. Therefore, four heads and I discussed which was the root cause of the situation, and took action sooner rather later. We had a private conversation with each group, tried to address the outcome of disagreement along with clearing up misunderstanding. It worked! My team performed well during the show and finally, we ranked first.

I have learned so much from those challenges. I know how to cheer up the spirit of all team and arrange sound assignment for each member. I understand putting belief in my coordinators will improve the mutuality. This must encourage individuals to complete his/ her work, thereby ensuring the productiveness of all team. Moreover, as a member or a leader, I need to consider my team’s benefits as the first purpose. It is the truth that if my team is successful, I will have more chances to promotion. So focusing on expressing myself sometimes is not necessary, especially my action conflict with team’s interests. I think these characteristics are so useful for working at such mutual working environment like PwC.

To sum up, to be a PwC assurance requires me have several skills, especially teamwork one. I believe that what I have gained through external activities will support me to meet this position’s requirement.
