Re: Cadetships 2007

Lol mate when I went through the process I remember getting that advice from a few reputable career sources..

For Big4 evidently it'd be russian roulette trying to guess who's in charge but for mid-tier etc. its usually quite clear - names are even listed in the ICAA handbook!

It's an immediate impact that makes your letter stand out me thinks

Re: Cadetships 2007

Present whatever application data you have as well as you possibly can. Look up websites on perfecting cover letters, CVs, etc.

Stretch out experiences, etc.

I know a few of the mid-tier firms have the habit of cutting off relatively few people in the application stage, hence interviewing quite a few.

If you don't get it - it's not the end of the world. Learn from your mistakes and do well in uni, secure yourself some summer work -> grad position and you can be on a similar path.

Re: Cadetships 2007

gawd. i've missed all the info nights, applications close 20th and i just found out

does it matter that i havent' been to the info nights and am applying last minute? in the sense that does that reduce my chances of getting it?

Not really - i don't think it reduces your chances significantly. I for one, have only finished ONE form and I knew about this ages ago (although I'm not too keen on cadetships). Start filling out the forms now. And go on the net and research about your firms.

Re: Cadetships 2007

Has anyone finished their applications for the big4 yet?

The questions on the application forms are so hard to answer.

Thats fine.

If you get an offer for an interview it is highly recommended that you attend the pre-assessment centre info night at the respective firms.

Re: Cadetships 2007

A girl from my school already got an interview for lawler partners, so i don't know whether people can still apply. I think the closing date for applications was sometime in may. But maybe people can still apply i dunno
