hey guys,, yes i did this program last year,
It started aroudn the same time last year, and i was first called for an interview maybe about 2 weeks later after i submitd, which was the day before the closing date.
I didnt think i'd get it too, but yes, they called up and arranged for a group interview.
I suceeded in the group interview, and called again for final interview with a panel of 2 HR staff from two different CA firms.. They were suppportive!
The whole process took about 1 month until i found out that i got the position, and after that,, i was notified which company i would work in.
the company that i got was a mid tier, ranked around 15-16 in the BRW top 100 accounting firms..
I worked with that firm during end of november to mid december, for three weeks. There program was designed for me to have 1 week in bus services, 1 week in bus recovery (insolvency) and another week in audit...
its great experience, and it looks DAMN good in your resume..
As long as you were creative in answering the questions in the app form, and had something different to offer in the interviews (something the staff could remember you by) then you'll be just fine..
o btw, they pay too, people whom i spoke to, there pay was approximately in the range of 15-20 per hr...not badd for someone who offers no REAL contribution.
I'm writing all this just because i needed this sort of information last year, and it was difficult in finding.
write back how it goes,, any other questions i'm happy to help..
