Accounting Cadetships 2009 (1 Viewer)

[deakin2009]

Hey Guys. I’m currently in year 11 (technically in year 12 now) and definitely thinking of doing a cadetship.. I've been working on my extra-curricular, Leadership and volunteering activities and this is what I have done so far in the past three years. I heard it was really competitive, so what are my chances of me getting a cadetship with what I’ve done so far?... taking into consideration that applications for cadetship in '10 is ages away and i still have time to do more...um what else...oh, do they take into consideration about any work experience? and if so, should I take on a part time job during year 12?

many thanks in advance

you probably need to double that list even it get a look in!




..only kidding very impressive i loved high school when you got awards for everything

 

[nipsta]

Does any of the big four firms have places for Transactions or Business Advisory as a cadet? or is it just tax and assurance?

 

[summermagic]

Yep most of the Big 4 offer a couple of spots in Business Advisory. It's really much too early for this sort of talk. Wait until next year's Chartered Accountants Career Day. They'll have pamphlets at your school and advertise it at the website when more info comes out http://www.charteredaccountants.com.au/students

I think you guys should just stop worrying about this and enjoy the upcoming summer holidays.

Holy Shit!!!!! The only award i got was a participation award for cricket when i was in Yr.7 soo you should have no trouble getting in unless you are full of shit

Last time i checked the calender it was only november and we are already talking about 2009 cadetships lol. You gotta love the enthusiasm but...

 

[shakky15]

So when is the cadet info night?

check on the chartered accountants website im sure its on there somewhere... its not hard to find yourself.

 

[cocoshebang]

Hey guys. I'm currently in year 12 and I'm really interested in this whole cadetship thing.

So other than the big 4 companies, does anyone know what other firms that offer cadetships?
And how does it work? So you go to each of their websites, sign up for info night, and what happens from there?

Thanks heaps guys.

 

[Vagabond]

I have a suspicion that trainee intakes are going to be utter rubbish in the coming years so I'd advise prospective highschool students to focus more on academia and getting into a really good/long unicourse.

 

[roadcone]

emphasis on long.

 

[jimmyb8]

i kno u shouldnt make career decisions based on earnings but out of interest

how much would a manager at one of the big four earn?
and wat kind of sum would a partner be looking at?

 

[velox]

Partner around 600k i think, but not 100% sure.

 

[Vagabond]

Start around 300k maybe, then ever increasing equity share portions... so if they've been around long enough over a million isn't uncommon.

 

[wowness]

So for the cadetship how much of a uai would they expect from you?
Have any of you done they exchange overseas thingo?
Would accounting at TAFE make a big difference?
Is it realy worth tring appling at the big 4? isnt there so many ppl
and like after you get past interviews and everythig is there a chance they can chage there mind about you?

 

[McLoving]

do anyone know how many cadetship are up for option this year?

my school says there are less because of financial crisis

most of the ppl i know who gotten cadetships got 99+
exchange overseas? no
accounting at tafe.. no difference
it depends, theres a lot of ppl applying for everything
and yes, theres 1st/2nd round interviews u have to pass

 

[hopethisworks]

There of course would be a smaller amount of cadetship spaces open, but no one knows just how much.

more like the jolly roger

lol fuck, so this isnt even nearly true hey?

 

[FINALFLASH-GO]

lol fuck, so this isnt even nearly true hey?

i know around 7 ppl who got them in the past 2 years

they all got over 99, and they were prefects/srcs , most of the ppl that got in had around the same shit, but ppl with 95-99 get in also, with a ton of REAL co-coricus

on a sidenote, from what i can see, most of the ppl on cadetships did not get over the 99 UAI mark. whilst some did, and i can name them too, i don't think it's the defining characteristic. the far more important thing is the way they interact with people and have shown that in the past, they have the capacity to act professionally and a willingness to learn.

So I'm guessing 89.45 won't have a chance in hell?
