Accounting Cadetships 2009 (2 Viewers)

[cassieagill]

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

Thankyou

hey, i had my interview with EY the other day, i won't tell you exactly what they asked because i got the job and i don't want to get in trouble for telling people 'the secrets' but it was all behavioral based like 'tell me about a time when you (displayed certain skill or competency)' they asked about work environment, myself as a person why i was interested in their company and yea things like that (pretty standard)

google behavioral interview questions and you can have a look at what some of them are like (most of the firms do similar things) however try not to memorize answers, they can tell when you are rehearsed

hope this helps

(oh also some firms do motivational interview questions google those too)

Why would you get into trouble?

lol idk but i might, because they may use the same questions for their other states (im in vic) and plus i don't really think it's fair for some candidates to have an advantage by knowing the questions. But what I've given you is really helpful, i looked at them before i went and they actually asked the exact same questions as ones i'd read through my research and so i already had the framework for answers, so i urge you to look it up!

lol I had few interviews today and before so I have an idea of what's going to be asked. Besides, everyone gets different question anyway and everyone should really know what's going to be asked in interview (just google typical interview questions lol)

my interviewer read off a list of questions, so what i was asked was pre-determined, and everyone should have had the same...and yea exactly, they are all available on google hope you did well in your interviews and you get the call!!!!

Also guys just to let you know i got the call that i got the job two days after the interview, so don't start fretting if you don't get a call the day after

 

[lyounamu]

Just got that call I missed

lol, nice!

way to go yvonne

 

[GUSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

i didn apply for this stuff so i dun exactly know how it works
..but my friend got a call the other day...and was wondering what the ppl said at the end to everyone else...
eg: "we'll call you again some time..."
"thank you..."
"you were super fukn pwnge come work for us NOW..." =P

etc etc etc

if it's not too private then i think it wud really put him at ease if he knew wat the interviewer said to other people xD

Lyounamu you sound like an amazing applicant - you make me a bit jealoused hehe. You seem to be getting and owning all the interviews congrats man Btw for you PwC phone interview was it impromptu like did that email you in advance they will be calling you? And around what time did you get contacted? Coz my frend had her phone interview at like 8 pm last night which I thought was pretty late and so now I'm like really nervous whenever the phone rings haha.

For PwC interview they just called me and asked whether I can do phone interview so I said ye. It went about 20 minutes I think.

The questions at EY at least are the same for everyone, as Cassieagill said ..... we were at the same recruitment day and from what we have discussed they were exactly the same.
However I didnt research before ..... didnt even think of it haha ..... i didnt get an offer so do research lol its a really good idea

Okay I have a queston for the E&Y cadetship app, 1 question asks "Ernst & Young is a values-based organisation. Which of Ernst & Young’s key values have you recently demonstrated? How did you demonstrate this value?" I looked thru their site and couldnt really find a page where they talked about their values ... help anyone?

EDIT: nvm i just googled it and the page came up haha
