Hi all, just had my telephone interview recently and i got through to the AC. The lady was very nice, she explained the questions she was going to ask and said she might stop me to move on to the next question and not to take it as a negative sign. First part i chose a topic and she asked questions how that affects the industry, what can Mazar do to overcome the threats. Make sure you chose a topic you understand. Second part competency questions 3 of them. They wanted to know how i work under pressure, how i adapt to change and how i build rapport. You must do you research about the company n the position. Good luck all!


Hi, i have my telephone interview tomorrow and i am not sure what they mean by do research on topical issues, what sort of topics do you mean? Im really nervous :/

Just think about recent events in the news and globally, and how that may affect Mazars as a company
Just google "trends in financing n accounting" n pick one of the subjects there

Final interview? wait what did you apply for? I applied for autumn intake industrial placement, and I have an AC on the 14th Dec with them, so v soon! no mention of a final interview? maybe we applied for different things?

I heard back the next day - however I then had to wait about 6 weeks for a date, so not really sure tbh, others I've spoken to have heard back with an AC date within a week! Best of luck whatever!

Thank you ! If you don’t mind me asking what office did you apply for ?
Does anyone think Mazars would negotiate on the salary? I've been offered a graduate place but as expected the salary is really poor at 21k.

I've got other offers and Mazars by far is the lowest salary, i want to work for mazars, and i think its a great choice but i just dont think i can stomach choosing them over another ACA training contract paying 6-8k more a year?

Do you think they'd just be like, no sorry, someone else will accept your place so we wouldn't even consider upping our offer?

I think you should at least enquire - if you're dealing with the HR department, I don't think they can revoke your offer?

Wow that's shockingly low, even for Mazars.. Maybe it will be a good idea to reach out to other graduates

It's interesting to see how many people are so bothered about the salary. As long as I was being paid a standard full-time wage I think the experience you're getting is invaluable for setting you up in the future, a company is investing their money in you to get the rewards later so I don't think salary should be your main concern and more about what company is suitable for you? No point getting greedy as you made the exact point that someone will happily take your place if you don't think you're getting paid enough, you have to remember that you're not qualified yet and the company is investing their money and taking a risk on you. Just something to think about...

Hi - where are you based? I'm also holding an offer from one of the regional offices, but my salary is different. Feel free to PM me if you don't wish to disclose the information openly.
Hi guys,I had my telephone interview on Monday (17/11/2018). I got an email the next day saying I've been invited to the AC. However I am really worried as I have been reading that sometimes the places get filled up early!Now that we're heading into christmas hols, I doubt the AC would be till Jan! Does anyone have an AC in Jan?
