Exactly. I've just picked up a vacation work position with a mid-tier accounting firm in assurance and consulting and hope to use the opportunity to secure a graduate postion the following year. I know that there will be parts that i'll hate about the job, but at the same time i'll be developing...

Cheers mate

Cheers Billbro!

Just received a vac work position with Moore Stephens!!

For me it's all down to one final opportunity with Moore Stephens in Melbourne (had my final interview yesterday). At the end of the day folks it is just an accounting internship, obviously a great opportunity, but definately not the end of the world. Have learnt that the cultures of the Big 4...

Before making any decisions, this post is definately worth reading: Truth about my big 4 job / rant http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=471050

At the end of the day, these vacation applications are a process. The process does not always select the best candidates, but rather improves the opportunity of choosing the best candidates. I had did in internship at a big 4, had a grad offer from a big 4 and two mid-tiers and a bank, and I...

Am yet to be rejected by KPMG after a partner interview two weeks ago. Does that mean you're still on the shortlist in case others drop out, or does it take a while to recieve the rejection letter?

I'd try and play the partner interview with a straight bat (stay on topic and stay serious and enthusiastic throughout). They're also big on image, so make sure you shave, get a haircut etc beforehand. They'll also ask what skills you will need during vac work eg. time management, interpersonal...

I just find it funny that this is how you get ur kicks

12,000 posts mate lol. Good luck with it!

I always said if they were 'best friends' beforehand (ie very close friendship for a decent period of time), then they could remain good friends after a break-up . Never deviated from that position.

That's just telling it how it is.

Well if you were more into a bloke than he was into you, and he dropped you cold, would you really want to pursue a friendship???

Yeh it definately is harder. Never had a relationship with a best friend so I've always cut off all contact and started fresh. Does depend on the situation you have, but I personally can't stand the eeriness and sour taste that's left over. If my current gf and I were to break-up, then I...

Definately agree with you on that one, whereby if you're best friends beforehand, you're still gonna be at least friends afterwards. What I'm talking about is when you break up with a girl and she explains that she still wants to be friends. Are you really gonna hang around to pursue that...

I'm talking about after they break-up, not beforehand. I'm not talking bout the whole 14-17 year-old 'summer bay' relationships inside a friendship group, but genuinely serious ones.

Think you may have miss-read that one there mate. What I meant was that after a break-up the couple involved will never be 'really good friends'. There'll always be a sour taste from the break-up and that can't be denied. Have got heaps of mates, both blokes and girls, and all of them agree...

The only guys who stay really good friends with the girl after they break up are either gay or they've known each other since they were 4-5 years old. Other than that, wtf would you bother wasting your time being friends with your ex girlfriend??? Move on, it's over.

Bah! Still no response from KPMG Melbourne, so am guessing that I've missed out. Still gotta here back from EY, but also bombed out on the numerical test and am looking shaky at going through. Got Grant Thornton Tuesday who seem a good outift, plus BDO Kendals as well. Definately agree with...
