all up about 80 people got selected for interview (number may have changed) and there are 35 spots in syd metro. so if you get interview..chances of sucess is about 50-50...though it will vary with where you put ur acct interests (like which particular area)
Are you just talking about the Sydney Universities:confused:?

regards question one, during my interview the marketing coordinator wesley toms told me that they had 35 placements in sydney, for about 80 interviewees. and yes i've already had my interview last wednesday (1st sept).

suvat, if you're really desperate to find out, call wesley on 9290 5617 (but dun tell him where you got his number ;) ).

So they just ask you questions from this questionnaire? So how many questions are there and how many interviewers are there:confused:? Thanks:).

I think there were four questions and each had a maximum word limit of 400. I have a copy of mine here and I wrote 78 words for the first question, 162 words for the second question, 106 words for the third question and 238 words for the fourth question, which make a total of 584 words:).

OK, thanks for your help:).


So now that it is the 13th, who was successful:)?

Thanks:). It went quite well I think. I had good answers to all the questions except a couple. At the end she said they were conducting fourteen interviews and there are nine placements, so I have a pretty good chance. We find out in the first week of October:).
