just talk yourself up at the group interview??
just suck up to the firm like...

my name is gibbo, but id gladly change it to hlb man judd, my first words were accountancy at hlb mann judd, ever since i was in kindergarden, i wanted to be an accountant for HLB mann judd, i want to name my children HLB, Mann and Judd, every night when i goto sleep, i wet myself dreaming about crunching numbers for hlb man judd

 

[gibbo153]

Haha! That's GOLD!

On a serious note though, try not to up yourself too much or the company

haha thankyou ever so much, here i was thinking he was serious.

that could have been embarrassing.


nah serious planning time now.

step 1: make pass at female interviewer

hey benny its pat. i got one of those HLB phone interviews tonight too. i was actually naked in my room because i'd just come from the shower. the phone call was soooooo unexpected haha

 

[gibbo153]

not necessarily

'whatever floats one's boat' as they say

 

[gibbo153]

Tonight? I'm thinking 9pm + ? Isn't that a bit late for an accounting firm? Don't they usually close around 5:30?

yeah. mine was around that time.

don't listen to pat
his brain doesn't be good at making thoughts wot makes sense

It was around 7 when she called. I was starting to think every firm thought i was too much of a retard to consider my application. fingers crossed there's only a maximum of 30 people at this group interview. I think they offer roughly 8 places so the less people left in the application process the better.

 

[gibbo153]

if they ring tell them you're not interested.

treat em' mean keep em' keen

 

[chsjtb09]

Sorry my bad. i meant i had an interview tonight. *slaps forehead*

 

[gibbo153]

you already established that.

*slaps pats forehead*

 

[gibbo153]

lol!

How long does the interview usually go for? 20mins?

nah mine was like a bit more than 5 minutes. there weren't that many questions.. and who is gonna talk for more than a minute about each one.

 

[chsjtb09]

haha i'm new to this whole forum talk business. mine was only 5 mins or so. She pretty much came to the conclusion early on that i was the biggest accounting sick cunt to ever walk this planet. She actually offered me her HR job plus the CEO position, i was that good. /sarcasm

Call from PwC & Deloitte so far...what a day =)

But firstly, I hope I do well for the UBS interview tomorrow...

 

[lyounamu]

AWESOME! Congrats Namu

Thanks, Yvonne!!!

Did you apply for mid-tiers only?

BTW I hope you are doing great too! =)

 

[lyounamu]

Yup, only mid-tiers ^_^

Nah, I just got one "call" from Camphin Boston .. which they haven't followed up. I shall do that tomorrow after school, after all of my exams

Why didn't you go for companies like E&Y? I thought it was your dream to be part of E&Y...

But I reckon mid-tiers are just as good if not better in many aspects.

 

[hungwell1337]

is it true EY holds annual dota, cs, ddr competitions?

 

[lyounamu]

Oh wow Namu, you know me better than I thought you did

Nah, I'd prefer to see what life is like in the little pond before I move off into the big

lol

Nice plan btw. I really like how you have planned all that out =)

 

[lyounamu]

is it true EY holds annual dota, cs, ddr competitions?

lol amazing!

E&Y is on the top of my priority list now...lol

Hey lyounamu, just wondering how long did it take for Deloitte to contact you after you submitted your application? Was it within 5 business days? Did they email you or phone you straight away - was there a phone interview by any chance? Thanks

 

[tanyak]

I would just like to know some sample questions for what is asked at an accounting cadetship interview.

Thankyou

Hey lyounamu, just wondering how long did it take for Deloitte to contact you after you submitted your application? Was it within 5 business days? Did they email you or phone you straight away - was there a phone interview by any chance? Thanks

Hey. I submitted my application form on 28th of June (i.e. Sunday) and I got a phone call yesterday.

So it does take about 4-5 days I think?

And no, it wasn't a phone interview for Deloitte. They told me they will call me again for more details lol but I am through.

But I did my phone interview for PwC just then, I am through there as well =)
