PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC)
– Would like to invite you to join an event focussed on recruitment in
China and the UK. We will hold a talk with senior personnel from our
UK based China Business Desk and recent recruits. This will be
followed by a networking event where you‘ll have the chance to meet and
mingle with the panel and many more recent recruits. All of them ready
to give you honest, straightforward answers to your questions.
In the process, you will
find out why ambitious organisations the world over choose to work with
us and just what kind of career options we offer. You’ll also discover
why students in the UK have voted us number one in the Times Top 100
Graduate Employers survey for six years running. We have been rated
number 1 out of 100 top audit firms in China for the 5th consecutive
years by the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountant (CICPA).
In addition you’ll pick up crucial insights into all the employability
