 Interns' feedback | The RSM Cyprus experience 

Antreas Kyriakou: During my internship at RSM Cyprus, one moment that stands out as a true highlight was the real-case-scenario simulation. My team and I were tasked with conducting an audit for a new client. This involved analysing their operations, identifying potential risks, and developing a tailored audit strategy. Through dedicated research, collaboration, and preparation, we successfully completed the assigned tasks. Presenting our work to the RSM Cyprus Leadership Team was an incredible experience. Receiving positive feedback from professionals was really rewarding. I felt very proud of the work we put in and confident in the skills I developed during my internship. 

Thessalia Iasonos: One of the most challenging tasks I faced during my internship was delivering my first presentation on an audit-related project. As someone who is early in my academic journey, it was a completely new and intense experience. But the true challenge was using what I had learnt in the first few weeks to deliver a clear, structured, and confident presentation. To overcome this, I approached the task methodically. I dedicated time to reviewing the material and organising my thoughts. Moreover, working together was really important because this was a team effort. We created the presentation step by step, utilising our abilities and insights. This made sure that everyone learnt and contributed. This experience and learning process not only helped me step out of my comfort zone but also taught me the importance of working together and being thoroughly prepared to overcome challenges.

Angelos Elefteriou: Reality exceeded my expectations of the internship when I discovered that all the events happening and the feedback we provided were for a reason. Using the data we provided to RSM Cyprus, they tailored the internship to make it a better experience for us. I remember that on the first day, the marketing manager asked us questions to break the ice and to find out what we enjoy doing. Little did I know this was all going to come back to us a week later, with parts of the internship tailored to make it more enjoyable for us. I thank RSM Cyprus for the incredible internship experience I have had.

Zacharoulla Kyrou: During my internship, I did not anticipate improving my communication and resolving skills, but I did. Working with people from other departments provided me with different perspectives and sometimes helped clear misunderstandings. This experience made me more empathetic, patient, and assertive in a professional setting, a growth I had not anticipated but now truly value.

Andriani Paschalidou: The RSM Cyprus Internship program provided me with hands-on experience in audit, tax, and advisory work. Instead of just theory, I saw how the profession works day to day and whether it suits me. Daily seminars improved my technical and soft skills. Working with managers and team members, I was encouraged to ask questions and receive feedback, which helped raise my confidence. Throughout my internship, shadowing professionals helped me apply what I learned and use it in real-world situations. I also gained insight into various areas, which helped me figure out what I like best. Overall, this experience enhanced my skills and increased my confidence in my future career.

Christina Duglas: The most important lesson I learned during my internship was how to effectively manage my expectations. My advice to future interns is to accept that we are not expected to know or master everything on our first day. The internship's purpose is to learn, adapt, discover the skills needed for the profession and experience the professional environment. Asking questions and seeking guidance are part of the internship experience and the learning process. Managers and colleagues are there to support you, not to judge you. Be patient with yourself and others. Teamwork often means adapting to different working styles and paces. Build trust by ensuring no one is left behind and by taking time to acknowledge the strengths each team member brings. To sum up, stay curious, be proactive, and make the most of the experience. Every step, no matter how small, contributes to your future success. 

Skevi Georgiou: The most profound lesson I learned during my internship was the importance of asking for help. At first, I was afraid that mistakes might change how others perceive me. But, after some days, I realised perfection was not expected, learning was. Another impactful experience was hearing our CEO share how he learned from observing his manager early on in his career. At that time, I realised that asking for help is something that everyone does, including accomplished people. The RSM Cyprus Internship Program changed the way I think and made me realise that asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it is a way to connect, work together, and grow.

Ghiath Hritani: My initial expectations when starting the internship were that I would spend a lot of time filing documents and not do any real work. I was surprised to find that RSM invested significant time and effort in planning this internship. We had many engaging presentations, which helped me develop soft skills, such as professional behaviour. As the internship continued, I was allowed to delve deeper into various processes, including the audit process. I also had the opportunity to participate in a case study, which was very useful for sharpening my skills.
