Just received a phone call from KPMG about 30mins ago. Absolutely stoked! Honestly didn't think I would have gotten through after the online tests. Can anyone offer specific tips for KPMG's recruitment day?

Oh wow congratulations! I think it's a great sign if you've gotten this far

I'd say dress sharp (maybe consider buying a new dress or something for interviews, you can always use it when you get a job!), be confident in yourself (you know why you're there, so prove it to them!) and good luck

Don't get over-confident, although making it to the telephone interview is good, there is still an assessment centre to go after that so stay focused!

I think BDO phone interview offers were sent out already, a couple people I know also received phone interview offers.

 

[crazy_paki123]

but shouldnt they atleast inform me that i got rejected like KPMG, and im pre sure i didnt get rejected yet

BDO might still be reviewing applications so keep a look out! But just to let you know, not all mid tier firms notify you of rejection like the Big 3's do.

 

[crazy_paki123]

i think they only got my app his morning so yh hoping for the best, nd done the Moore stephens one too

 

[balla13z]

Unlikely. I have seen a few Equity research positions that have said non penultimate students can apply, however the chances are slim. I'm not sure about accounting though

 

[ilikecats]

I never received a rejection notice from Moore Stephens, so don't be too concerned if they never reply :/

 

[crazy_paki123]

so what now? Study for the interview? Also, are the Big 4 telephone interviews usually around the same? As in questions asked etc.?
