Grant Thornton final interview

Lucky guy, how was the group exercise, and any tips for it?

honestly i was scared bc im quite introverted irl. so i just played an exaggerated, extroverted version of myself lmao. i made sure i wasnt being passive and actually got involved. there were 2 other strong "leader"-like personalities in my group so make sure you dont fall into the background. +++AND remember the values.

also if u notice someone in ur group not participating as much, encourage them to talk like ask them questions n stuff. good luckk

Hi, i have applied for the school leaver audit role with GT and I am on the final stage before the offer. Has anyone else reached this stage or completed the interview too? If so do you have any advice?

ALSO, does anyone know the starting salary for this role ?

Got mah final interview too . How'd yours go?! Mine is on the 30th of November.

I've got mine too on the 9th Dec. I just struggle with interviews. Any tips??

Btw, I haven't done mines either. But tips would be obviously revise the CLEARR values, and the role/GT very well as they might throw some curveballs. But interview questions tend to be open ended, so ig the more research you do, the more you can show off. And the more you speak, the less time they'll have to ask questions that'll throw you off lol. I really wish the interview was in-person, but it is what it is. I've applied to the school leaver public sector audit role (which I everrrr so slightly regret in comparison to more commercial audit, but I might be able to get a transfer) - you?

Same I applied for audit too. Just hope the interview it's alright. I tend to speak very fast 😅 I got thrown off by one question that they asked in an interview that I've done. They kept asking follow up q's don't know why

Big 4 Audit is usually pretty low, especially given the hours worked. Think the average is around 32k.

Goddamn follow up questions man, my script doesn't go that far. I think it'll be alright; I can confidently say that Grant Thornton has had one of the most supportive application processes in school leaver roles I've applied to thus far. Like damn, there's even a coaching call and Q&As on Mondays (that I unfortunately can't attend since my school is like an hour away lol).

GT isn't Big 4? And OP's applied for a school leaver role (aka an apprenticeship, so I highly doubt it's 32k, I'd say 21k in fact).

Big 4, BDO, GT etc all pay pretty similar.

Sorry I missed the school leaver point. KPMG was 20k for school leavers last year, so 21k sounds about right.

Same to be frankly honest. I just make bullet point with key words for each q s and then just answer it that way. Wbu??

Tbh, I just write whatever stream of thought unleashes in my head. For one application, I was preparing for a competencies interview, and anticipating all the different types of competencies, I managed to chug out a 5k word document so ig I can use that whenever I need lol.

🤣🤣🤣 yeah same thats what i do too.
But do you memorise your answers word to word or not?

No, that's impractical. Since I write what I think, remembering a few words is enough to set off a similar chain of thought so I don't have to recite the whole thing.
