    No, I'm sure that they would consider your interview performance, Efficient! Ours was okay, we went first and we showed a high level of organisation. But the speaking wasn't that great...as we did not have 'enough time' to practise. The teamwork is what they're looking for as well and...

    The co-ordinator told us that we have been given a space of 2 weeks to hear back from the CA, but more than likely we will receive a notification at the end of the week.

    CA Achievers program - 2009

    I've been through an assessment centre before. The best tips are: *Be yourself - They chose you for the interview because of this very fact. *Dress to impress - Yes it may sound superficial, but appearance is everything, people! Don't want a scruffy looking person to come to the accountants...

    CA Achievers program - 2009

    It's specified that it will be in the November/December/January or February break. I think the question was 'What area in accounting do you prefer and why?' I said that I liked forensic accounting and also external auditing...I think. I pretty much forgot what I wrote, but it sounded okay...

    CA Achievers program - 2009

    I'm thinking that 'awesome' work experience means that it has been varied i.e. retail/sales/telecommunications..they are looking for an all-rounder who has also been involved with other extra-curriculars such as University volunteering, charity work etc. It's not all about marks. Another...

    CA Achievers program - 2009

    I had a look on the 2007 thread for this and apparently it took them quite a while to give people a call. The closing date for 2007 was around the 26/27th..and people in sydney only started receiving calls for group interviews about 1.5-2 weeks after the closing date. So there is still a...

    Hey - I phoned them and they said that you have to have done your first year core accounting subjects ONLY. So whatever subjects you have for first year accounting should be completed or in the process of completion...I think :) Check with them yourself if you want!

    penultimate students

    I know of someone who had gotten into the program in the second year of study - same as you! However, to be considered alongside the 'eligible' penultimate year students in the field, you should have gained a distinction or above average, also your part-time work/extra curriculars should be...
