after all that...

"As you know, you were short-listed as potential cadets for Westpac Business Financial Services (BFS) Cadetship Program and I would like to thank you for your interest in a cadetship position with Westpac.

We received many short-listed applications, however, only had a select number of positions for Wollongong, Sydney CBD/Metro and Newcastle.

After careful consideration, unfortunately, your application was not selected in our recruitment process to attend an interview with Westpac this week. The way in which we were able to select potential cadets to invite to interview, was attributed to the results you received further to the on-line assessment completed and your interview with Alastair Wilkinson of BCA. We also took into consideration the preferences you made in your application.

We wish you all the best for your HSC and beyond.

Yours sincerely,"

Did they email you this?

Yasaman- yes I would've accepted the Wollongong one.

My brother got an offer already.

 

[jordankuai22]

My brother got an offer already.

i sure hope so.

nickleg i hope you dont get one.
similarly with ovaschool, or 'storza'

 

[NickLG]

My brother got an offer already.

That pretty weird......considering they said they'd contact us on wednesday whether we had the position or not. Is your brother trying out for tax because there were only two people going for the one spot so maybe they were letting them know earlier. Operations I know at least its wednesday.

Also good for you Jordan, or whatever your name is. Even if I didn't get this one I still have PwC. Who are you stuck with? Rejected by the big four so you're stuck with some peasant company like PKF, that's considering you get PKF cause apparently they aren't even in to their second round, but I guess you're just so great that they didn't need a second round for you.

This week - mines tomorrow. I was called on friday (edit - actually i cant really remember when) and they emailed today.

yeah well done to your brother for getting one. I would say that he wasnt in operations because David Costa who interviewed the 4 people from operations, said that they would make a decision on tuesday and notify them by wednesday.

Either way this business cadetship (with UBS) has a number of advantages and disadvantages compared to the accounting ones. First major advantage is that they pay for uni, very handy. Downside is that you have to work 5 days a week, so that means uni 3 night a week for 2 years until going to uni full time... whereas the accounting firms, well big 4 anyway... only make u work 4 days a week, or some mid tier firms say 4.5 days of work.

Surprisingly the base salary with UBS was quite low at 30k ... however they rocked on with the increases each year... also if u get a D or HD at uni they pay you a shitload...as I said pros and cons... looks like we find out on wednesday for who was successful.
