ok i'm am mega pissed, do these accounting firms think we don't go on holidays or something??? I got called by Deloitte and PWC this arvo inviting me in to interviews. they are both on the week from 7th-11th of July. PWC made an exception and said i could do mine on the friday before but Deloitte weren't as accomodating. do you guys think it's fair that we miss out because we go on holidays? i honestly thought they would be a bit more understanding. what are your guys views on it?

PWC called me and asked me a few questions.

I think I really stuffed those up bad. Probably won't get an interview.
waht happened after you answered the Q's ? they ended the convo or did they talk more? cause for me they gave me details of the next stage after asking Q's

They say they will contact me within 48 hours about the result. I take to mean that I probably haven't gotten to the next stage.

I knew I stuffed up.

I think they asked me 4-5 questions.

My answers wasn't that strong. I kinda fumbled around as I wasn't expecting the call.

i dont' choose to go on holidays my family does, believe me if i had the choice i'd go to the deloitte interview. i do consider myself lucky that PWC were willing to be flexible; but maybe they should offer an alternative day during a different week for people in my position, and in saying that i'm sure i'm not the only one.

I got a call from KPMG as well.

So there are the "intro" sessions for KPMG and PwC for next week, I wasn't really listening that carefully, but these sessions aren't compulsory right?

Just logged into my PWC account and clicked interview schelduer.

I got dates to select. I accidently confirmed one for next Friday.

I'm not even sure if I'm in yet.

Check if you guys get the same thing.

Did you have to click on it?

Or was it already confirmed when the person rang you?

Cos the person hasn't rang me back about whether I got in or not, but I have confirmed it online.

What time was yours? Did you get a confirmation email?

I don't have an option to click on it, it just says confirmed.
I'm not sure how long after I received the call that the date appeared on the page though, since I only checked it after you mentioned it.

The confirmation email for the interview appointment that you clicked on, or for the Conquest interview session? If the latter, the lady said I'd get one soon but it hasn't arrived yet!

That's a bit odd though. You should probably mention it to her when she rings you back.

Which date did you choose and does yours say from 8:45 to 14:45?

Yeah, I'll mention it to her when she rings back. Hopefully its not just an error. ;)
