Anyone applied to Deloitte yet?
Any tips on how to answer the questions?

And how quickly do you think they will fill up?
thanks

Do some research.

No way of knowing how quickly as we only accept the right people no matter how many applications are received. Get in there early to avoid disappointment.

Yeah I'd already looked at wikijob.

Just wondering what experience people have to put down on the application?
I only have one Accountancy work exp, the others are one banking work exp, and one sales assistant job. I'm wondering whether this will be enough?

Any work experience is worth mentioning on your CV. Employers are looking for transferable and generic employability skills and are less concerned about any professional or technical experience you might or might not have.

I think mosy big players will be opening their schemes next month.

My university worked with an external partner last year who provided some kind of finance career discovery programme that helped students become better prepared for applying for finance grad scheme positions. I can't recall the partners name but am willing to have asearch through my notes if anyone's interested.

I hope KPMG open the rest of their Audit/Tax vacation programmes soon. They opened London exclusively a week or so ago. Ernst and Young and Deloitte have been open for a month and PwC should be opening mid August.

The name of the company that came to our uni to provide big4 application support was called Journey To Work

Have just been invited to the online numerical reasoning stage of the application for Deloitte. Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare for this stage? Particularly those who've done the Deloitte test before, but any help would be appreciated. (I've already looked at the examples they give on their site). Thanks!

Just practice really. There are a couple of free tests floating around on Wikijobs, SHL, AssessmentDay and e-financial careers. The format will vary but the basic questions and calculations are the same. Brush up on reading graphs and tables, percentages, ratios and currency conversion.

Cheers AGI. Nice, helpful post. Will check the aforementioned sites out. Have you done a numerical reasoning test for one of these internship application processes before?

I think so. They had been phoning me for a couple of weeks for a telephone interview (I was hiding from it, until I had a chance to prepare :P). Anyway, monday first thing they told me they were no longer interested.
