Why not email or call them to let them know your situation and that you tried to attach it? Some ppl give up rather easily...

Hi everyone!!!
Applications for most firms have officially closed about 4 hours ago!! How did you guys find the process of filling out the applications?
Personally, I really rushed through everything last night and I also thought that PwC's question on "What was your most memorable moment from the last 12 months.." or something, was an interesting and different question =P

LOL it's a great question. Some ppl write really random stuff and others write much more sensible things.

So what should be written to help you get an interview? Surely, they'll get bored of hearing about team-work experiences, bla bla all that typical stuff... right? >.<"

just be genuine and detailed and make sure it actually was something memorable, not lame if you get what i mean. but yeah, most of the companies questions were fairly decent. hopefully i get somewhere

I got an SMS from PwC saying that they will be calling me over the next two days to discuss my application.

Anybody else?

Is it going to be an interview, or they actually going to arrange an interview time? Because if they were to arrange an interview time, wouldn't they just email me?

i got that too, i think its just an informal phone interview and helps them decide whether or not you're suitable to go through to the next stage of recruitment

hey gaaay,
i dont understand why they call ppl at such random times. what if you're in class and can't pick up the phone? we're not allowed to do it at my school. So was it like an informal phone interview or just notfiying you to come in? Is it actually the interview or just the group assessment?

Black pants/knee length skirt
Preferably black shoes with at least a bit of a heel. It can also be other demure colours such as beige or brown
Suit jacket with concervative blouse
You don't have to wear the most expensive or stylish clothes, but just make sure you look neat and professional. Being neat is VERY important
