I got an internship with Ernst and Young. I've got to attend Uni for a year and then I can begin working for them.

Pretty happy.

? you are still in HS and you got a summer vac which I don't think is even open yet. Are you getting internship and the cadetship confused?

I feel old but I'm not him ?

umm... im applying for the summer vacation internships? like PWC, E&Y etc...?

yeah.... i agree credit average is hardly flattering... but i really dont have anything else to put? or i dont have any ideas?? hahaha

Credit average isn't so bad as long as you have other features which make you attractive to employers. Academics are really not the one and only thing which employers look at.

I think summer internships are for students in penultimate year studies.

You could apply to other programs though, like:
- CA Achievers Program (http://www.charteredaccountants.com.au/A116882805)
- Deloitte Development Program (http://careers.deloitte.com/australia/students/students_internships.aspx?CountryContentID=2583)

ahhh... yeah... i understand marks dont determine everything... and i do have quite a good work experience and extra curricular activities...

but yeah... i was mainly wondering what/how i should put in my academic achievements?? Every bit counts you know =)?

So would Credit Average in Finance (for example) be an achievement? =S

Do interviewers ask for the document of our UAI? They do on their websites, but do they ask for one for the face-to-face interview? I think I lost mine..

credit average in finance average is an achievement?
really?

i think wen they mean academic achievement wat prizes or awards have u won (for e.g. coming first in a uni subject )

 

[spontaneous]

when do they usually hold the interviews? its a bit confusing with kpmg as they dont have a closing date this year

Not quite sure. I would believe that UAI is one of the least of their concerns when conducting their interviews.
I've only ever been asked for an original uni transcript and hardcopy resume in a one-on-one.

KPMG are running assessment centres starting from mid-August, and will keep running them every week until they fill all positions. That's why they don't have a closing date. Get in as early as possible with your application for the best shot at it.
