Good idea. Can you tell us what he says in case I was wrong.

Yeah he told me that it’s about YOU, u need to sell yourself to them
He said you have to start of with hello how are you blah blah so that’s good
You’re meant to speak as yourself
Not as an apprentice
That’s all he said, idk how to approach the question tho hmm

ahhh i get you. So maybe just say hi and nice to meet you and go straight into your qualities I guess, like you thought of. Would you say to introduce yourself as an apprentice but focus on your qualities as a person now or don't even say your an apprentice. Seems to strange to be acting like an employee but not mention your job role.

I have seen that there hasn't been a forum made for this years' apprenticeships for KPMG so I made this so we can talk about our application process. I've just finished the 'Transforming Small Businesses' Assessment, any one else finished it as well.

Has anyone done the Delivering Outcomes Online Assessment and could you tell me the type of questions that came and how you prepared for it

nope not yet, btw unrelated but PwC finally gave me a virtual interview 😭, I had to send a couple emails which were a little rude 🤣

Yayyy, beware there’s 10/12 questions on the interview it’s so draining it’s basically a job sim aswell cus majority of the questions are job sim ish

Word, goodluck tho, they ask you about what u know about tax at PwC so prepare !!
One of the questions were about how you include everyone in a team and how do u make everyone feel included, talk about adapting communication styles so everyone can understand etc

it’s quite easy

Mix of both!! You don’t rlly need specialist knowledge I think you just need a solid understanding of the role u applied for and how you can contribute to the data/ audit department

Then you probably would wanna speak about your qualities

And then they ask you for your opinion for some questions

They’re might be 1 or 2 competency questions

That’s not even fair, the rest of the big 4 don’t care like that
Was it for school leaver or UCAS?

Yeah they don’t play around with the UCAS ones, PwC don’t choose who they pick, it’s the Uni that picks

I doubt PwC give a damn about 1 missed grade, it’s honestly so sad

I applied for the school leaver for tax
