2017 Consulting summer internships/Graduate scheme

Oh I see I've applied for a graduate role!

I haven't started researching anything yet about the assessment centre but I've had an internship this summer with the government and we did a practice assessment centre there where we practiced a group exercise so if it's anything like the one we did there you'll be given some literature to read on a topic so I was the environmental committee and another was commercial committee another was the community committee etc and you all have different
Objectives so you need
To show you can communicate well to communicate your personal objective but also meet a consensus showing team work so I imagine it'll be along the same lines where we'll each have a different project we have to brief about and we need to decide the best one as a group

any1 applied to EY and got an interview invite?? Im still waiting for the numerical and verbal tests invitation, its been almost a week.

Also any1 know when EY might be having their first AC??

I am also awaiting the numerical and verbal invitation. I have been waiting for approximately 4 days..

how do you do an internship with the government

i actually dont know if i passed the strengths assessments, i thought if u failed you would get an email the next day.

I've just been invited to sit a McKinsey numerical and verbal reasoning. Has anybody else?

Yeah, I got that today too. Planning to get it over and done with tomorrow as from Thursday I move into my uni house and we don't yet have wifi.. Good luck with yours!

Does anyone know which numerical test providers Marakon and Javelin group use please????

Does that mean we passed the pre-screening? I'm going to do the verbal tomorrow and numerical on Thursday because I'm so busy at work. I wish you all the best!

I kinda figured if we'd actually passed the pre-screening they'd have mentioned it on the email, so I think it might be automatically sent out? But it would be really great if it means we have passed the first round! I tried doing the numerical practise one, and I just couldn't finish in time - how do you find the time constraints?

Hi all,

I was wondering if you guys know whether previous applications to a firm will harm my current chances? Basically - have just been rejected from Deloitte without even an invitation to online tests, despite a first class Oxford degree, internship at the department of business, a marketing internship, and various other involvements with university societies (and with the Oxford careers service being very complimentary of my cover letter/experience). My previous applications were tbh pretty rubbish and half-hearted - I mainly applied because I felt pressure from my university/social group, and was no where near as qualified in experience as I am now, and didn't really have the motivation that I now do so they were either rejected, or withdrawn by myself.

I know the scheme is super competitive but I would have thought I'd at least be given the chance to take the tests - and looking at the LinkedIn of current associates, they seem similarly (or even less) qualified than myself. I've also applied to a few others last week and haven't received a response/ test invite (not sure how long it takes and whether this is a bad sign?!)

I'm feeling really disheartened at this and worried that I won't have a chance now I've made all the applications - please advise! (and feel free to say if you think I'm over-reacting)
