Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso PwC nel mese di dic 2010
Colloquio
First round interview was on campus with a manager for 45 minutes. We went over my resume and he said I covered most of my strengths during this time, so we ended up skipping most of the behavioral questions. It also turned out I had some common interests with my interviewer so we spent about 20 minutes just talking about non-work related stuff.
The second round interview took place over 2 days so they got each of us hotel rooms. The first night was a pre-interview dinner, business casual, with 2 other interviewees and 3 PwC associates. Overall, a very fun experience considering how nervous I was. The next day was the office visit. They started off with presentations, then we each got assigned buddies to take us to our 3 different interviews for the day. The whole process felt really rushed. I interviewed with 2 managers and a partner. One manager really grilled me about why I wanted to work in audit and I emerged from that interview with my confidence a bit shaken. The interview with the partner was by far the easiest and most laid back (the only one that did not ask me any behavioral q's), but it is also the one you want to do best in because I think they make the final call about whether or not to hire you. Anyways, the partner called me with a job offer the following morning.
Here are some things that may have helped me:
*Prepared myself by going over my resume. The majority of the interview time was spent going over my resume. For each different job listed on your resume, have 1-2 big things you took away from it such as working in teams or dealing with difficult clients. Be able to elaborate!!
*I'm not a naturally outgoing person nor consider myself particularly good at interviews, but I mustered up every ounce of energy I had into being extremely personable to EVERYONE. I feel like 50% of the interview is them trying to see if you are someone who they'd enjoy working with and would be good with clients. Be able to carry on pleasant conversations with people. Be friendly but professional.
*I was really firm in telling them that I wanted to work at this specific Big 4 company in this specific location and told them my reasons. They like to hear that your career goals and interests are in line with the job you're going for. So tell them why they'd be good for you, and then finish off by telling them why you'd be good for them.
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
