Is this a good answer to the question: Please outline what you have been up to since graduating university in 2022, and why you have now decided to apply for this particular audit role.

Since graduating university in 2022, I have immersed myself in the finance industry through various internships and roles. I interned at XXX Asset Management, where I presented a proposal on AI's workforce impact and persuaded the investment committee to include a housing company based on ESG criteria. At XXX Capital, I led a session on using generative AI like ChatGPT, improved ESG metrics collection with Microsoft Office tools, and conducted ad hoc tasks such as macroeconomic research to support investment decisions.

Currently, I am a restructuring and turnaround analyst for BIG 4 NORTH. In this role, I created AI bot chat prompts that saved significant time for a senior manager, taught myself PowerBI to create business dashboards, and trained peers on customer management software while effectively collecting debts. Despite these achievements, I realized after speaking to colleagues in the audit department at BIG 4 NORTH that auditing would better suit my career aspirations. Auditing offers exposure to a broader range of companies and allows me to fully utilize my analytical skillset. Additionally, the restructuring role at BIG 4 NORTH did not provide the level of engagement I had anticipated.

I am now applying for this particular audit role at SMALLER FIRM because I prefer the culture at a smaller firm, which offers more responsibility, faster growth, and more personalized development. While at BIG 4, I primarily worked with distressed companies in the North, auditing with SMALLER FIRM presents a greater variety of clients. Moreover, at a smaller firm like SMALLER FIRM , I can gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire audit process, aligning perfectly with my intellectual curiosity for accountancy and business.

First para could be more logically laid out for the skim reader. Try to make your lists more structured, use time periods, numbers or if you can internal categories? For x months I interned…key achievement was z. Next for X months I did y which yielded z.

At my current role I focussed on (larger category like) AI integration which included 1, 2, 3 smaller tasks which yielded x result for the business.

Second para is about why you’d like smaller firm but you could do more to show what you offer them imho.
