[dK_99]

I dont think we can take any1 unlike the PwC one.

i have no idea what to wear tomorrow night! it says its an "informal information evening"...ugh hope i dont look like the odd one out with whatever i choose to wear

dk - dont think we have to bring anything with us...its should be mainly them telling us info and things that are going to be happening with the program, interview process, etc.

EY didn't call me back!
Maybe they didn't want first years

I should've applied last year! If only I had known... :burn:

 

[=candii=]

hmm...you could alwayz try for the vacation positions...they would definitely take first years

EDIT: sorry my bad...i think they take you after your second year

its okay, you didnt miss much...it was basically just talking to other trainees and ppl who work there if you had any questions

Out of interest... are you actually taking exams right now, or is this just interrupting your study patterns/regular school?

EY took one first year last time around - but she was a full business student. She got into the division I was alloted - ummm..financial assurance, i think. One of my friends doing comm/law tried last year too - but she didn't make it. I think they might be a bit unsure about that combination

Vacation Positions next year for sure though, goan

I'm a trainee at EY. This is my first year. I do Comm/Law @ UNSW. I was also offered PWC but chose EY.
Any questions?
We are taking in first years.
Good luck for your interviews.

Well for PwC it was Friday 9:00-11:00 and I just happened to have a 3U maths exam from 9:00 - 10:30.

For EY it was Thursday night and I would've just got back from school from my 3U english exam at school and I would've been tired as hell. What I actually did on Thursday was I slept from 7pm to around 2am :S Then got up and crammed for my 3U maths and chemistry exams on Friday

Anyway I'm tired as hell now, I didn't end up sleeping for 40 hours (since I woke up at 2am on Friday morning) as I also had a birthday/'sleep'over thing Friday night/Saturday morning. I ended up sleeping at 10pm Saturday. So beat that! No sleep from 2am Friday to 10pm Saturday

Wow cool. Is it really really stressful to be doing a double degree at the same time as working full-time? When do you go to the uni for classes? At night? Do you get to go out/socialise or is it just work work, study, work, study, and then more work? It's sounds so scary doing double degree as well as working full-time at the same time! How brave of you

 

[sxcsn]

what does the numerical and verbal assessment and the group assignment activity actgually involve? Is verbal a speech?
