Re: Cadetships 2007 People even got calls on sunday last year.. Still possible.

Re: Cadetships 2007 Last year EY was first with the offers, then PWC, then KPMG. KPMG sent out SMS to our mobile phones, PWC will call you.

This article and basically all the tips on this website were gold for me: http://content.monster.com/articles/3478/17180/1/default.aspx In a nutshell. Try to be as calm and relaxed as possible (hard to do I know..).. The faster you break that "I'm in an itnerview" barrier and get into "I'm...

Re: Cadetships 2007 PWC make their offers over the period of a week or so.. At least last year they did. Conquest for the day = A few offers made only regarding people who went that day I think nexia discriminate against certain backgrounds - from all the people who applied last year from my...

Re: Cadetships 2007 ICAA give these companies specific dates when they're allowed to interview folk, so expect some much earlier than others.. "Ahh i have a bit of a problem! I can't attach my report because it's in PDF format and it's 1.95MB, the limit is 800kb! Help!" Where's the lateral...

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...

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...

Re: Cadetships 2007 For smaller/mid-tier firms there is usually a HR contact listed to whom the letter should be addressed to. The smaller the company, the more important it is for you to address the letter to them. If no HR person is listed, ring up and ask who you should address the letter...

How long is a piece of string?

Bloody cheers! Please don't tell me it was somewhere really obvious :P Thanks again.

Good rank, decent candidature = great results for poor scaling subjects. However, doing "ok" in textiles isn't as good as doing "ok" in ext 2 maths. If you like the course then you should be doing well. If you're not then you shouldnt keep it just because you like it. If you're in a position...

I'd say 11. I did 10 and found that it worked best. I think the saftey net argument is weak. If you have lost any hope in a subject then you should drop it. Simple. Just be sure to drop the right one, ie. the one that you've already put heaps of effort in and gotten nowhere, as opposed...

Not sure where to post this.. But I'm trying to find those PDF files that were released on the UAC website with the cut-offs for the main-round/late-round offers for this year. I saved them at the time but now I can't find them and I wanted them for reference... Anyone still have them...

Hah hah wow. I never knew about this program. "The Business Cadetships Program values equity and diversity. Successful candidates will be determined on merit, regardless of which of the above schools they attend." Quite paradoxical.. and shameless. I was under the impression we were living...

Don't people often get their CA soon after uni, then later down the track get an MBA?

Umm.. Last time I checked you can't do a MBA straight out of university. You need years of work experience to be eligible I think? Feel free to correct me. Between CA and CPA... CA fo-shorrr :) Just be sure to do all the required subjects. An accounting major isnt enough, depending on...

^ That's not the point. My original point wasnt "People who want to do IB should study arts" It was "Commerce is essentially an arts degree" Which is true considering that it is not a formal prereq... AND called 'Arts' overseas. Relative to other areas of study, it is not particularly good...

Ahhh... I'll never forget hearing a friend brag about how their partner dropped out of school and now, while we slaved for the HSC, he was earning a load managing a coffee shop. The shop then got sold out and he became unemployed.

Because they'd rather spend their years studying commerce instead of something like literature? Just because most people who are pursuing IB do some form of commerce does not mean that commerce is a prereq to IB. To say so is post hoc. Let's get something straight, regardless of the...

Be as condescending as you will, but have you ever considered that the reason most people in IB are from commerce backrounds is because most people who were interested in IB naturally chose to study commerce? Zinnnggg!
