-: It's no so much of hard skill sets that you'll learn,
like you're not gonna know processes
and stuff without learning it,
but it's learning those skills
that will allow you to learn.
So I think of it, education involves stating
what it did for me,
and that it gives me the tools
to become that lifetime learner
that we need, as auditors, to be.
So really, having the ability to analyze things.
That's probably one of the key skillsets
that you have to have to be a successful auditor
is be able to analyze,
to be able to come to conclusions with using evidence,
that is a huge aspect of it.
But over time you'll also build something.
A lot of people say experience.
What is experience?
I really see it as building professional judgment,
is what really experience allows you.
It really allows you to look at evidence
and to have kind of some insight
to well where is this gonna lead me to.
And that's what the experience does for you.
Look at doing internships your junior, senior year.
There are multiple opportunities to do internships.
We even hire interns for the summer.
And you know, if you wanna apply for that,
that would be great.
I'm always looking for All State students for that.
But it's not all, it's doing internships to see
if it's something you like to do.
That's a great opportunity.
And that's actually how I got into Internal Audit,
was I actually did an internship through my senior year.
So I think that's a great opportunity for that.
But it's also making sure that
you're doing enough when you're a student.
Take advantage of those student organizations,
those opportunities you have as a student.
Just don't go to class.
You know, join the club.
Go to opportunities that you have.
Be engaged in those projects.
And use those learning experience
to really give yourself an advantage compared to others.
