2013 Finance/Accountancy Internships

Just took the EY Strengths Assessment after my application. Do many people get rejected after this? I answered honestly and so I can only hope for the best.

Just got back from my KPMG one. Didn't even complete my report! Got cut off mid sentence (bad time management!). Wrote about 500-600 words tho so hopefully don't get marked down too badly. e-Tray was alright, completed everything but not sure if it was what they were looking for with the emails I had to compose.

Best of luck to you tho.

11 days ago I got an email from EY inviting me to an AC and saying that someone should be in contact with me "shortly". But I haven't heard anything since then... should I be getting worried? :s

Thanks, the interview was good, pretty relaxed and I had a friendly interviewer which was also good. Its not too long either, E&Y one was much longer in terms of the amount of questions asked. Yeah that means you should be invited to an interview shortly, so good luck!

Ah that doesn't sound too daunting then.
It must feel so nice to have an offer! Which department is it? Are you applying for IB internships too?
Well I got rejected from PwC and EY so fingers crossed for Deloitte.

Do you mind telling us what sort of questions they asked (if you remember!)? Was it all competency based? Sounds like it will be from the website but that seems a bit strange as there is only one interview.
Sorry for all the questions.

Yeah its fine, relatively pain free :tongue:

I also got rejected by E&Y and PwC (E&Y after interview although it was my first ever one and PwC after telephone interview) Yeah im applying for IBs too, dunno whether to pursue them now though as I have this offer, seems like a better environment than in IB too.
It was purely competency based, yeah its all on their website including the competencies theyre looking for; theyre not trying to catch you out or trip you up.
