got a call from PwC tonight but i was at work (dammmit the only night shift ive got in the week they decide to call...)... they wouldnt leave my mum a message - is this because they offered me a place, or maybe so that they didnt crush my mum with their rejection??? lol

im gonna call em tomorrow morning.. ooo the suspense lol

man i hope im not completely crushed in 10 hrs time...

 

[leoyh]

what have you got so far shakky?

 

[shakky15]

what have you got so far shakky?

well i only applied for PwC, KPMG, EY and mcgrathnicol

rejections from kpmg and ey at the application stage lol

mgrathnicol havent got back to me at all yet

and tomorrow morning i learn my fate for PwC lol... its gonna b a long night..

 

[leoyh]

lol good luck dude.

i got outright rejected by kpmg and ey also. Mcgrathnicol has made some calls i heard, but i havent heard from them, so probably another rejection too. same with all the other mid-tier firms.

which day was ur conquest and how do you think you went?

 

[Guol]

Good luck Shakky.
Keep us updated!

which day was ur conquest and how do you think you went?

im tax/legal and i was on tuesday

i think it was very good for the role play/written task/numerical exam but there were some things in the interview that i said that maybe would have been better not.. lol

eg: that i like diversity in my job ie. that i like to do a variety of things in my job,, but the lady said that the job was fairly specific

also i alluded to the fact that i preferred being told what to do and that i didnt really like responsibility lol.. silly i know

but the interviewers seemed happy and yeh.. positive energy i thought. apparently i shared similarities with a son of one intervier and the husband of the other (mine were both ladies) so it felt quite comfortable

i have high hopes at this stage... gotta be positive ay

 

[leoyh]

i think you'll be fine based on what u said.

i felt i did good in the numerical exam and group activity but i felt the wirtten exercise i only did very average. and i wasnt sure about how my interview went, i answered the Q's properly but the partner was very good at hiding how he felt towards my responses. and the manager didnt really say anything

and i surprisingly got in, so you should be fine!

hope to hear good news from you tomorrow

anyone going ferrier hodgson tomorrow?

 

[shakky15]

hmm i think the manager took control of the interview in my case

anyway whatever the outcome ill let u guys know

im off to get some shuteye

 

[Faytle]

Good luck, shakky15! I'm still waiting for a call from PwC. Quite surprised that they haven't called by now actually, even if it is a rejection.

I'm really hoping that I will get an offer from them, but I know the chances are pretty slim at this stage .

 

[haiderr]

good luck shakky and faytle!!! Faytle: wat division?

btw, i havnt been on bos for a while... so here goes:

i got a call from pwc and i got in. YAYAYYA not sure which service line in assurance tho....

leoyh: CONGRATS that is AWESOME!!! so i guess ill see you again nxt year! i buzzed you on msn but i think you were busy... i havnt spoken to any of the other guys from ur school so hav the other haider and tu and caroline and christina and carmen (lol and anyone else ive missed) get in?

 

[leoyh]

i replied but u were offline by then dude. it was only like 2 minutes later lol

CONGRATS as well man, hoping to see u on wednesday. haider got in also, not too sure about caroline and carmen cause i havent seen them since insight. i think by christina you mean lily, who had conquest on the same day as me, not sure how she went though cause we were in different streams. last i spoke to Tu she didn't get a call yet

how's your other interviews going?

 

[jordankuai22]

your mates all got cadetships in the big 4?

yep. all of them. i got offered a position at PKF though!!!!!

i have high hopes at this stage... gotta be positive ay

yes, but this may lead to a WINNING FAILURE. (based on your activity in this thread)

man i hope im not completely crushed in 10 hrs time...

i lolled when i read this.

my honest opinion:
1. You WILL be crushed in 10 hours time
2. The suspense will equal a great pwnage
3. You will report back to us tomorrow saying that you got rejected.
4. I will say "I told you so"
5. Should i be right about my prediction, you will be angry/annoyed

lolz.

 

[gaaay]

yep. all of them. i got offered a position at PKF though!!!!!

you got offered a position at PKF?
thought we had to the 2nd round interview first

 

[leoyh]

yeah thats what i thought too. i've had my first round but havent been notified of when to come in for a 2nd round, not that i could really care now lol
