The quicker you call, the better interview time you will get. No one really wants the 9am slots :p

hey pepperrock, They just rang and changed mine to friday.. dunno why, but I'll see you there!

I wouldnt be worried about the written assessment, They told us not to study so its probably just general communication crap, so if you speak english, it should be easy...
cya on friday, do you know where were supposed to meet?

The written exercise was quite stressful for me, because of time and my intense nervousness lol. There's an example here:

http://www.careers.ed.ac.uk/STUDENT...tCentres/in-tray exercise/intray_exercise.htm

Obviously it wont be multiple choice, but the answers they provide give you an idea of what kind of responses they are looking for. It just tests how you collate and analyse information.

The interview was the best part. My partner was incredibly friendly and it was really relaxed. They ask you a few of those situational questions as in the first interview, but nothing wacky or technical. Its just a friendly chat.

Enjoy it, be yourself, and have fun :)

btw they have better food than pwc

They had wraps. WRAPS. With coloured tortilla things. PwC's white bread sandwiches cannot beat that.



Has anyone got their contract yet? I got mine today and it came with a sexy pen and folder. $28k package sounds sweet.
