well if thats the case then surely i can scrape in with mid 70's and study commerce at UWS with a major in accounting.

Haha that might not apply until next year though.

Look in the Cadetships guide book.. I think it lists the university reqs of each firm.

jus asking, what are the kinda questions to expect when ask by a manager at the big 4? and how would you answer it?

 

[seremify007]

They seemed pretty normal to me... like any other interview? There's a little bit more emphasis on corporate culture, "why you want to..." and "what do you know about..." as opposed to the ordinary job interview Q's... The challenging bits are more the unpredictable 'group' sections which require you to work well with other people.

i thought the ernst & young group interview was pretty good. the scenario thing they set up was interesting.

 

[seremify007]

I think the BDO one was my favourite.

 

[rosepetal25]

ahaha yeah i heard about that one...but i didnt attend any of the other ones because after i got the offer to do the double degree one at ernst and young i rang and cancelled the others.

 

[seremify007]

Lol I think that's why most ppl picked EY.

I cancelled my others as well after I got the offer because I knew I'd accept it.

 

[rosepetal25]

so you're at ey next year? which division are you in?

 

[seremify007]

Nah I'm not EY- I'm at another firm... But I'm in the audit division =]

 

[theone123]

[ishq]

ahahaha why all the secrecy?

[Meads]

Humble? lol we are giving PwC a little too much credit here surely lol

 

[seremify007]

haha.. thx- It's more of a there's no point saying, and what if I don't get into uni? Then I'll feel like a total **** (insert random synonym for a stupid person who brags)...
