Cadetship 2015 (5 Viewers)

anyone applying for ESV and Bentleys?

I applied for both around 2 weeks ago. Got a rejection from ESV, not too fussed about the outcome of the other one
you?

I'm talking about year 12 Cadetship application lol not 1st year uni. Maybe you're applying for 1st year that's why your deadline is earlier

Nah they were the same. Also im not a first year. Also its a rolling basis. And the positions probably filled already. But you can try your luck

Yes you're correct about the dates but the guy above you is right. I'm pretty sure that even by the time I applied the positions were already filled. I think this because I got my rejection letter extremely quickly (1 day maybe 2 max) compared to some other firms I applied to who would take at least a few days to review my application (and then possibly invite me to the next stage) or would just have no reply (in this case it means that I'm not as good as other applicants and they would wait until they finalise their application process before rejection letters).

Can confirm that the earlier you apply the better your chances. Realistically, are companies bothered to wait it out? Not really if they already got some really good applicants

I can find out if the positions are filled if you want for ESV

Thank you and please do. I don't want to end up applying for something which has surpassed their vacancies lol

Don't immediately dismiss a firm if your applying later in the process. People pull out (get a different offered or decided not to pursue accounting), or the firm increases how many cadets they are taking in. It's not impossible even if less likely.

Anyone hear back from Boroughs/Hall Chadwick?

Anyone hear back from Boroughs/Hall Chadwick?

I had an interview with Boroughs last week and got offered a second interview. Nothing from Hall Chadwick haha (i swear i applied for this ages ago)

 

[ilikecats]

Hall Chadwick normally does stuff closer to September. Their cadetship application form is up all year round.

Really? I thought Hall Chadwick applications have closed? Maybe I should apply for that as well haha.

My biggest regret is not applying for EY due to lack of confidence. Only recently I knew of someone who's academic results are worse than me and they don't do as much ECs as me as still got offered by EY. Just wanna cry when I think of this.... :'(

Back when I worked there it was September, and additional ones in December. Not particularly swift.
If it has closed by now, give it a week or two then. It's not a big HR team.

You missed a good opportunity. Don't let lack of confidence get the best of you next time, you're only going to miss more opportunities from it, and you got nothing to lose when applying for jobs.

Alright, I'll try applying regardless. And if I don't get any Cadetship this year, then I know that I'm going to apply for Comm/Law when UAC applications come out lol.

Cuz at the start of the year, I was torn between straight commerce+Cadetship or comm/law, but I guess the path and calling is getting clearer now lol.

Most of the big 4 (especially Deloitte) and other firms take in first years (even second years) , so don't give in yet! Go for comm/law and make it straight to them that you will drop it if you get the position in the interview, you still got a chance! (if you really want it)

??

anyone have any interview tips?

Don't ever give up and keep on applying/pursuing your dreams Have a long hard think about what you want to do and go for it!
I know that it has been said above but don't EVER assume things. Sometimes you DON'T actually know what firms want so don't put yourself down and limit your opportunities. A lot of my friends gave up during the application process because of constant rejections/no replies but really, an important determinant of success is your ability to stand up again and again, failure after failure with undiminished enthusiasm

Just called a few firms today. Hall chadwicks deadline is 31 July. Same as ESV.

 

[InsoulvencyReaper]

Hall Chadwicks HR manager has been away and systems have been up and down, so don't be upset if you haven't heard anything yet.
