Re: BAcc 2008... Asking about what you do, who you are, what you're interested- that's all the basic interview questions you'll run into. Yes, there'll be a combination of both 'interest, school, leadership, teamwork' questions, as well as general knowledge on the accounting role within the...

Re: BAcc 2008... Well, obviously the numbers quoted who get interviews/ receives places are based on what happened in previous years...its not an indication it'll be same this year. There's been a bug with saving those Adobe forms. Perhaps copy and paste into a word document. Or fill the...

Re: BAcc 2008... Congrats to all who got 1st round interviews. On average, 300-400 people are asked to come in for interviews. For the interviews, remember, you love accounting. Go along the lines of "accounting completes me." *Tip: Accounting is a very general field, and sets the basic...

Re: BAcc 2008... Sounds like you'll get an interview. Regarding what to wear- treat it as if you're going for a cadetship or any business interview. Full suit, including jacket (always safer to dress up than down ;) In fact, there's a high chance you'll actually get interviewed by at least...

Re: BAcc 2008... Haha, that's ok, just remember to dress appropriately for the July interviews :P And yes, that's the software problem I was talking about. Just print a hard copy for yourself, or copy and paste into a word document.

Re: BAcc 2008... Hi Haider, This year the BaCC application process is trying to do most of it all online (that's why your career advisor may not know all the changes yet), but it's been plagued with some software problems. But yes, you have the right idea. - Fill out Part A online (That's...

Re: BAcc 2008... Yay...six more days before round 1 closes.... Allan, which school were u from? Dunno if i ran into you that night? I was running reception at the start.

Re: BAcc 2008... You're welcome xD Don't know if you attended any careers fairs or the ICAA evening last week, but if you want a more detailed overview of BaCC and the opportunity to ask any questions face-to-face, UTS is holding a BaCC information evening: Monday 2 June, at 6.00 for...

Re: BAcc 2008... You can still choose to do BaCC even if your interests lie in law, as long as you still hold some interest in the commerce field as well. While your first major must be in Accounting, your second major/ sub-major/ electives can be across most faculties. In my class...

Re: BAcc 2008... Regarding the selection process.... In 2007, 700-800 applications were received for 1st round alone. Around 400 is invited to come in for an interview. Out of that, around 30 offers are sent out at that time. A further 10 offers is sent out after the 2nd round interviews.

Re: BAcc 2008... Haha yes, you have to print the final copy and submit it via fax. From experience, you may receive an email saying the second half of the fax was not clear enough, and that they want you to resend via email; don't panic, its just so the interviewers can see clearly what you...

Re: BAcc 2008... Grats on first post :P I can only assume you're asking what kind of environment does the uts Bacc course provide, and that is an intensive, work hard play hard culture. You are technically completing a 3 year theory + 1 year work placement course all within 3 years, there...

Re: BAcc 2008... The internship is certainly challenging. I found that much of the theoretical stuff I've learnt in the first half-year of uni nearly all went out of the window- It's no longer about understanding debits and credits, its now about evaluating a particular internal accounting...

Re: BAcc 2008... Haha, well like any subject, you need the base knowledge before being able to moving further. 'Debit and credits' is like learning the accounting alphabet. Yes, the name 'Bachelor of Accounting' isn't the greatest thing to say, that's why I always deliberately say the next...

Re: BAcc 2008... Just to add onto that, the 'Bachelor of Accounting' degree is almost a replica of the common 'Bachelor of Business' normal degree. A seperate name was selected to differentiate this co-operative scholarship course from the rest. And like Evan has said, accounting is...
