Do they still have the Standards Packages for IPT which show what a Band Five/Six response looks like? Another place to look is the SuccessOne solutions. They're pretty good.

I think this is one of the subjects where it pays to go overboard in the exam (provided you do it using the terminology as opposed to waffling on incorrect stuff). Sorry for stealing the thread a bit... I'll just repost your question for the next punter :) Q: Who are the users, and who are...

I wanted our school to do Accel IPT back in year9/10 but they couldn't get enough people to support the class :(

As I mentioned in my other threads the only real way to study and do well in this subject is to really "embrace" the scenario given to you and really approach it not just from an IPT perspective but from a practical perspective. I know this sounds waffly but if you look at the SuccessOne "model...

Agreed that you shouldn't do something for the sake of impressing the interviewers but that being said, having something on your CV which shows you at least *tried* to do something outside what was required of you (proactiveness) as well as the potential that you learnt something from the...

Being smart in studies doesn't necessarily translate into someone who will work well in all scenarios/situations. Big 4 audit for example is very team-orientated and iniative driven, and in the long run, you will need leadership and teaching ("coaching") skills. Being able to read and memorise...

LOL funnily enough a similar thought went through my mind too. Indeed. It's way too early! At most, now might be a good time to try and remember all those things you've done which were beyond what was required of you (i.e. what extra curricular things you've done) and possibly identify areas...

I notice that alot of acct/fin students about to graduate are now switching (well.. DID switch) their focus to accounting or are now planning to do a Masters due to the financial job market...

Agreed- the UNSW site is excellent for the university student (or high school student). Maybe should sticky this thread as a generic tips for job applications and interviews. Types of Interview Questions: http://www.careers.unsw.edu.au/careerEd/jobApplications/interviews/questionTypes.aspx...

Let's not forget if you end up going down the accounting route, you'll need to meet prerequisites for the post-graduate qualifications.

How to write cover-letters... and various other tips for applications & interviews! Since I get asked this question so often both in person and via PM on BoS, I thought I would share these links from MyCareer on; The purpose of a cover letter...

Some people are just really lazy. For exAMPle, thEY just use replace all and click Submit. (ps. the above paragraph is not really intended to make sense; it's an example in itself)

Re: BRW Top 100 Accounting Firms 2007 They are thumbnails so if you click on them (don't save the link) it should open a new window/tab which takes you to the much larger files (approx 300-400kb each for the low-resolution; and approx 2mb each I think for the high-resolution ones).

Re: BRW Top 100 Accounting Firms 2007 amended. ta.

I'm wondering if I should do one of these for accounting to save us from all those "do we need maths?" style questions :)

Thanks for that dude. I passed it on to a friend who had a younger sister (lol long chain) who wanted to know about marketing and she found it extremely insightful and practical.

It's really funny when people forget that certain companies have names/acronyms which are also apparent in many commonly used words. For example...

Re: BRW Top 100 Accounting Firms 2007 Since BRW just published it's 2008 Accounting Firms Top 100 list I thought I'd share it; LOW RESOLUTION for DIAL-UP USERS HIGHER RESOLUTION FOR BROADBAND USERS (much better quality as requested) BUY THE MAGAZINE FOLKS. It's worth it. But...

This has got to be the most pointless comparison... since everyone will be biased based on whether they got interviews/offers lols.
