Honestly don't give up. I had many rejections before landing an offer from PWC! If there's one thing I learnt is keep trying, and you will see, each time you apply you'll get better. I didn't do amazing at my assessment centre either, but I think they are looking more at if you have potential, rather than being a perfect candidate. Good Luck!


Wow you were right. Just got an offer from pwc. Good luck to everyone!

Hey guys, do any of you remember the questions you got asked at the career conversion stage (pre-recorded interview). Just been invited to this stage and so any help would be massively appreciated!

Has anyone any advice for the virtual assessment day, I have mine in two weeks and want to be prepared
Did my Career Focus Day over four weeks ago, PwC told me they would tell me my result in due course. How long did people wait to get a response?

How is the career focus day? What can I expect is there an interview or is it just group work.

A friend who did the session in person last year said they contacted them the next day after the assesment to confirm a place. It can be different depending on whether pwc hire on a rolling basis for that programme or not

Okay, they just emailed me 2 weeks after it and said my outcome is still under review. During the day there is an interview and group activity and some independent ones just like a normal assessment centre. Good luck with it though.

Hi! I just did my AC.

Hi, yeah they called today, I didn’t get it sadly. It was my fault though I knew I messed up because I didn’t read one of the emails which said I had to prepare for the group meeting 45 mins before it. So when I did it, I was trying to read the document during the meeting and it was shambles and they clocked on.

She said I did really good in the interview, numerical and written. It was just my lack of preparation for the group work that let me down ahh

In six months we go again πŸ’ͺ🏾
I also have a pwc AC in a few days time- most worried about the written task and being able to read my information for the group!
How long does it take to hear back after the assessment? I did mine on 11 may and applied for the woman in business program. I'm getting nervous that I didn't get it as I didn't do amazing. But still holding onto hope.
@LunarJelly11 hello, my AC is on Friday and I've also applied for tax. do you have any tips for the written report eg structure, what to focus on, how long to spend on it etc? thank you
