they sent feedback after 5 weeks from when I completed it. You won’t get it back for a while, happy I got it back now so I can use it for KPMG. I’ll send you some questions you’d deffo get (from grads and apprentices last year)
Videos : you are in a meeting there are conflicting views they ask for your input
You need to introduce yourself to a manger who just joined and worked in another big 4 firm
You need to do a presentation for new joiners on why u are passionate about your role And why you picked it” don’t quote me this is what grad scheme applicants said it would be on ans last year apprentices and grads
It’s nearly the same as deloittes job sim just a slightly different scenario, pls plan accordingly to this because many ppl have said that these will come up, because you’re the first person ik that has got through

Idk the specific situation that u need to talk about but I think u should understand the STAR structure so u can identify the issue and stuff etc

Hi, Sorry for bothering I just had one more question and you have more knowledge about this than me. For these scenario interview questions, are KPMG expecting us to act out the situation as if it was real life and you are really working for the company. Or are they expecting us to describe what steps we would take and do if we were put in the hypothetical situation. I think the answer's the first one I mentioned based on the feedback from your Deloitte apprenticeship but I'm just making sure I answer the scenario ones correctly. Thank you

Hello it’s fine honestly , the scenario questions would be you in the shoes of an employee, so u need to give your input by judging any situation that you’re given, they wanna see if you’re a critical thinker and stuff,
In the question (introducing yourself) u need to talk about your qualities, what projects you’ve done that show that you have those qualities (briefly u only have 2 mins to speak) and then something along the lines of thanks for the opportunity to be on the team and I hope my skills really contribute to the success of this project

If it helps when they ask, start or with “I would” so you’re not saying “if I was in this situation, I would” cus it’s abit like… meh

i think they were over subscribed last year so they’ve closed tech for a bit which is really annoying

I don’t know anyone personally, but the people who did the discovery programme for kpmg, did get early access only by like a week, so if they applied straight away they may have gotten onto the next stages

Oh yeah but it was definitely annoying, as I was hoping to do that instead of the audit version
