good practice for co-op and future interviews. Anyway, the location of KPMG is kinda a hassle to get to uni.

Similar to question asked by pearling earlier, cna ppl who got calls from KPMG to reject them tll us which service line you applied for and what city too? much thanks!

 

[vanillacream]

i applied for audit at sydney kpmg. they didn't tell me why i didn't get in.

 

[pearling]

Thanks for that info vanilla

KPMG updated their information on the website about its scholarship program and it sounds really awesome, just as good if not better than cadetship. No need to do work/uni part time but you still get generous financial grant and secure employment with kpmg post grad for 3 yrs... I'm def gonna try out for this if I dont get cadet which is really likely since I've heard nothing from them. Oh and do you guys know if other Big4 are introducing similar programs??

Man, EY had probably less than 20 if you discount the 1st year uni people.

Yeah, i was quite shocked at the number :/ I thought EY would take 30 or so people, but there were only 4 future cadets per table (i think) and there were 5 tables...

 

[lsdpoon1337]

^From just scouring past threads on this forum I read somewhere (can't exactly remember where) that EY takes 20-30 each year. So yeah.

Some people who got PwC told me they take like 40-50. That's crazy lol

 

[vanillacream]

i heard that Deloitte is holding a Development program. is that similar to what KPMG's doing? the scholarship sounds awesome but i think it will be really competitive.

Who got a call from Duncan Dovico? I heard they only accepted 4 people this year.

My friend got it and rejected it immediately -.-

Oh well, he got offers from PwC and UTS which he reckons to be substentially better.

they called me yesterday saying that they are still deciding and that they will make a decision by friday

 

[barbecuedflava]

^ hey dr.jolly, did ur friend get in?
i got a call today and if decisions were already finalised yesterday then it was probably a reject call

n also what's appealing about dd's program, if u dont mind me asking? lol, the partner explained it to me but i cant remember a word he said

 

[lyounamu]

Nah, she didn't, but best wishes to you dom.

From memory (and this is back from the Cadet info night), Duncan's cadet program allows you to work at maximum of 24 hours a week. That's great considering how with other firms you are required to work a minimum of 34 hours. It would be a lot less stressful. And, their application was really easy too - all you had to do was submit your resume in and ta-da. Although, I stuffed that bit up by sending HLB Mann Judd's Cover Letter to them

Hm, that's actually quite nice.

I wish they had cadetship programs for Actuarial and stuff...even marketing. ah

haha yeh i guess its common practice to reuse your cover letter
yeh the partner said they only expected around 20 hrs a week
hmm sounds appealing ill prob give them a call tomorrow evening if they dont call back
i dont like my chances but thanks for the info yvonne

 

[lyounamu]

Which company have you accepted Namu?

I haven't yet and there is a good chance I won't. I want to negotiate them about Co-op and I haven't talked to them since I got offered.
