The Official 2019 KPMG graduate schemes application thread

Yeah, they are different.

Thanks for the reply! Was only informed that applications opened this time last week and I am trying to gauge how quickly I need to get these tests done so that I don't miss my chance but can also get some more applications out there. KPMG is my preferred firm atm so would like to go there but I am just wondering whether I can put it off until Saturday before completing the last stage of psychometric testing :colonhash:

I'm a bit confused... I applied for the Investment Advisory programme the day it became active back in August. Passed everything after that and heard back after audio submission over 2 months ago. Still awaiting information about a LP. Although scrolling through this thread it appears not a single person who has a LP invitation applied to Investment Advisory... maybe Investment Advisory has been heavily over subscribed? If anyone has got a LP invitation and also applied to Investment Advisory, can they please let me know? I didn't see any claims of this in the thread so far...

I have called and emailed the recruiters so many times - I am in your exact same position for IA...- no idea what they are playing at.,..

How long did KPMG take to review audio submissions? I submitted yesterday and just wondering when I might get confirmation...

Also, for those who did the LP event, how did you find it? Which part was most challenging? Which part did you enjoy the most :smile:

Thanks!

I've been invited to the same LP! For Business Consulting, Don't you find it weird though that the LP is at a museum and not their offices?!?!? No idea what to expect there's hardly any info on their website

Is anyone still on hold after submitting their Digital Audio thing? I got an email on 22nd October saying they're very interested in my application, but I haven't had any news since. I applied for Graduate Tax 2019 start. I hope they haven't already filled the position, KPMG was my preferred firm :frown:

It's pretty straightforward really, just have to answer the questions as they are, they're looking for your personality to come through throughout. It seemed almost like a cover letter to me (but without the formalities). If you have work experience, make sure you get that in. Also, make sure you sound enthusiastic throughout
