Better than if you had only a D or C. In all seriousness though academics are really only one component in assessing your application for offering an interview. It's not about how much you've done but what can you bring to the organisation.

Memorising interview questions doesn't really help much. Even worse if you write a script for your answers which I've had to endure twice before (by twins!...)

Deloitte =/= big 4 bank... which makes this even more surprising. But hey, their choice.

Done gokarting at a few places around Sydney and in Malaysia. I took my Evo to Marulan (MDTC), Eastern Creek (MRT) and Wakefield. Haven't renewed my amateur licence since I sold the Evo. Also took my Benz to Eastern Creek for their driver training day. According to the instructor, I can brake...

Finance typically involves you choosing your subjects beyond the core/basics- and you can always go down the qualitative rather than quantitative subject route. e.g. Corporate Governance instead of Options valuation. Economics however is much more quantitative/model focussed... and if you're...

I've never heard of this practice from anyone in industry other than IB/finance which have WAM minimums (as opposed to ranking and binning on WAM) but then in my line of work, WAM isn't the most important criteria.

Whilst I don't know what their process is, I can only imagine that they've broken down the recruitment process into very small discrete parts (e.g. application form, telephone interview, online assessment, group assessment, partner interview, etc). Doubt it'll be that different to the other big...

For the guys who are already in university, typically the primary society for Business/Commerce students within your university will organise networking events with large firms/etc who sponsor them.

I didn't have work experience other than a week in year 10... but then applications nowadays are much more competitive.

LOL I agree. Feels like only yesterday I was starting my cadetship as an 18 year old with no expectations other than to get coffee and photocopy. How times change (our newbies don't get the luxury of simple tasks.. they're forced to think from the start now!).

This. And it might wow the interviewer who had a Credit average (like me). But ultimately your ability to fit in with the organisation and contribute to the achievement of goals is what will determine whether you land a job... and that's the bit where there needs to be linkage between what is on...

Haha what happened to Galston Gorge? I remember that used to be a popular place back in the day... but then getting stuck behind a slow car in a single lane road isn't fun.

I like my mac.

Thanks for the message. All of those things are easily searchable off the net or on BoS forums. If in doubt, maybe ask on the forums? :)

I had a credit WAM and turned out fine.

This is such an old thread... funnily enough I bought an iPod Nano 16gb just last week for my gf for Valentines Day with an engraving. She has a Classic iPod but she wanted something which supports her Bose bluetooth speaker. For me, my iPods all live in cars pretty much as I use my iPhone with...

And back in those days I had a nice fuel inefficient Evo :)

Agreed. They've gone up in recent times ($1.50-$1.60/L) but are still cheaper than 98!

I finally decided to buy a Wii U as both JB/Target had the Basic 8gb console including Skylanders Swapforce Starter Pack & Nintendoland for $249. I have no interest in Skylanders so trying to sell it at 40% off RRP on Gumtree but I'm enjoying playing Nintendoland. It's surprisingly relaxing/fun...

I don't know if it's fair to say the performance is **** but rather, it's strengths aren't in outright power/acceleration.
