nahh KPMG didnt give ipod shuffles, unless its hidden the business case they gave

i think its called business case (or i made tht up - the leather thing that everyone has?) and a parker pen

i like it, mainly coz it saves me spending 100+$ buying one myself

WOw heck im jealous PwC only gave us some bag and a folder thats it ><

Was it a proper bag (e.g. backpack or the like) or a paper bag? Us grads got a binder with the contract in it and a bottle of champagne.

When do cadets start next year?

 

[leoyh]

yeah a proper back pack, but inside it was only the folder with the contract. no particular freebies

assurance cadets start in july, tax in february

 

[Suvat]

Guess they do read the feedback forms after all

 

[leoyh]

LOL what do you mean?

[Arithela]

does anyone know if 1st years (in 2009) will be able to get a cadetship or something similar, because they missed out on this one?

 

[leoyh]

some firms apparently take first year uni students. EY did this year i heard

yeah i asked the question with the intention of him describing how the feedback forms relate to our contracts and starting dates.

 

[Suvat]

LOL what do you mean?

After the conclusion of graduate recruitment season, PwC (as well as other firms) request you complete their feedback form to help them improve recruitment practices. The questions included "what do you think of champagne as the offer gift?" and "what do you suggest as an offer gift?" and I answered "PwC backpack".

Of course, it may just be they didn't offer champagne to cadets as not to be seen distributing alcohol to minors

Believe it or not it wasn't me- but I've had more than my fair share of people from BoS coming up to me at various events... I still don't know how they figure it out.. sneaky bunch of people those BoSers are though!

Haha well I'm not that hard to figure out, you add 4 letters to the end of my forum name and that's my real name.

Also shadowswifter, I believe they wanted us to call it a "compendium" lol.

HAHA HAHA CUMDUMPSTER

Hahahah im quite happy with my mid-tiers braaaah

Didn’t see you get any big 4 offers either???

And don’t say shit about ure bullshit BACc…coz apparently…

absoulutely.

i was accepted in all of the big 4 firms 2 years ago, but decided to go with the co-op scholarship

when answering cadetship applications, the trick is to NOT answer the maximum amount of words.

instead, make your responses short, and sharp - the 'screeners' go through over 500 each year.Short, sharp answers really stand out. - DO NOT over elaborate/justify your choices etc...

for example: say the max word limit is 150..
i only did 100 - 105 words max
(i am good friends with one of the 'screeners' and he assures me this is the best way)

feel free to pm me for any more questions
