Hey! I just got a call this arvo and the lady said I've been selected to take part in the interview on 3rd July. Except the thing is at the time she called I was sort of busy, so when she asked if I was busy, I said yes. Then she said she understands and said that she would email me all the details. Which means I only know that it's going to be on 3rd July. I'm really scared now they won't email me because they thought I was rude!!

Oh and she also said there's going to be an information evening next Thursday. Except I have exams all next week, which means I won't be able to make the information evening. Do they take note of who goes to the info evening and does it affect your chances of getting a contract? Also what sorts of information do we get on the info evening? Anything really important? I really want to go except stupid stupid exams!

Thanks for anyone who can help me! (e.g. previous trainees)

Haha chillax. Btw are you talking EY or PwC? 3rd July seems pretty late for interviews for Big4 I think- maybe the times are different this year round.

I remember last year... all the EY people had their interviews (and received job offers) way before the rest of the firms had even started their interviews! Also remember my mate from KPMG got his offer the same day I did- 1st of July (what a way to celebrate the new financial year!).

Best wishes to everyone in their applications

I'm talking about EY. Nooo I'm really worried now that the person got pissed off :S

Unless you were rude about it- don't worry too much. If you're worthy of an interview then you must be a pretty good candidate- they wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to employ you just because you weren't at the info evening. However if the evening is invite only... it might serve as a good way to meet and greet *shrugs* I know the PwC info evening was where people booked their interview days.

My sister went overseas during cadetship interviews and as a result, they all had to reschedule. She still managed to get a cadetship; and IIRC one mid-tier firm offered her a job without an interview.

Cool thanks for the info.

Can anyone who's been to the EY info night tell me what sorts of things they tell you about and what you do on that night? Thanks!

If you're talking abt PwC then I'm not sure what the "informal morning session" is. For my year (ie. 2005) we had an "Information Evening" on a Thursday night (about a week and a day after apps were due) where they told us about the firm, had a few speeches, informed us about the different LoS/industry groups, and then at the end of the night we had to put down our preferences for LoS/industry group and then they would give us our interview time slot based on those preferences. I'm guessing you guys might have an information morning rather than an evening?

Then, depending on what division you applied for, you'd come back in the morning of another day (I think mine was on the 30th June from memory) to participate in the Recruitment process (Conquest).

I think this link might be of interest to you- http://careers.au.pwc.com/hr/careerweb.nsf/docid/879BC997566117ACCA256B58000A74AE

PS. Because it was PwC, I wore the full suit Upto you how you wish to dress- If it were me, I'd go as professional as I could in terms of my uniform, and if I knew my uniform wasn't quite as impressive looking as I'd like to present myself, I would wear a suit. It's upto you
