Truthfully speaking, I don't see myself being in accountancy for the long term (I don't think anyone will naturally like accounting work, if he say he is he will be lying)
Response:
My main interest lies with project advisory, which I did a summer internship on. During the internship I had to help with the due diligence (which is like 80% of the advisory work), which besides the technical part that I mainly helped out with, I worked a bit on the financial dd side as well. I realised a bulk of it is essentially auditing potential project partners, and accounting skills are quite key to painting an accurate picture and safe guarding investments. So I want to take this opportunity with orange to pick up the skills in accounting that would stay with me and be useful for the rest of my career. Meanwhile, I can contribute to orange with my technical and industrial knowledge. Why can't I just pick up the skills else where? The level of exposure at a Big 4 firm cannot be matched, both in terms of range and scale of clients. And the position offered, specifically catering to non-accounting grads, seems to be crafted for someone in my exact position.
Strong enough reasoning?
Sounds legit, but is also quite a mouthful.
Basically you enjoyed your internship and feel that doing this job (if selected) will be your best way to develop your interest and skill set.
