Here are some of the interview questions that I encountered yesterday during my interview with Deloitte in Damansara uptown. This was the post of Audit Assistant.

Why are you interested to work here?

How much do you know about the related field?

Are you willing to travel?

Are you willing to work late?

How do you know about the company?

Do you have any friends working in other big 4 accounting firm?

Have you heard about Deloitte from any where else?

Where do you see yourself in 2 years time?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Where do you see yourself after 5 years?

To be honest this was my first interview and I was really really nervous that I blurted things out before really thinking much about it. But it was a good experience.

The assessment tests are as follows:

1. English Essay Test in say 15 to 20 minutes (I got "Yourself". Had problems writing since I haven't written essays in like years?)

2. 100 MCQ English Test in say 15 to 20 minutes (This one tests your English. Unless your English is perfect or extremely good, you might have some hard times for a few questions)

3. 30 to 50 IQ Test (Can't remember exactly how many. Couldn't finish everything so I had to start shooting the answers)

There were 5 people including myself who were there and everyone had a tough time with the IQ test.

I think my chances of getting through are pretty slim. But it's over already. I am now preparing for my interview tomorrow with Russel Bedford Malaysia.

Good luck for those who wish to apply for Deloitte.

By the way can someone give me some guidance how to answer "Why did you choose audit?" and "Why did you choose this firm?"

Kind of struggling a little on these 2 questions. Thanks in advance.

I know it's a little off topic but I really need a quick response.

Oh is it? I said yes wor.. but then when they ask me if I got any offer, i said still pending, will know in approx 2 weeks.

Shit, now i scared if they dunwan me just because I applied to others.

But then again, I think they would have expected fresh grads to apply to other big 4s. I mean, who puts all their eggs into one basket?

hi, everyone..i'm the new member here. have a question here..i had sent in my resume to one of the big 4 one month ago but get no response from the company. so should i re-send my resume to the company?

One month ago? Call them up. Speak to the HR and mention to him/her that you have sent your resume on this and this date, and sent/ submitted to xxx email/ website. Ask whether there's any feedback... or whether an interview will be arranged any time soon etc etc.

Hi I'm an Accounting & Finance student who is in my final year and going to start my last semester in feb. I plan to work as an AA when I grad around May/June. Sorry I'm kinda new to LYN and just wanna ask some advices from the seniors or anyone who is kind enough to give me their 2 cents   
1st question: If i grad, does it make a difference (salary wise) if i work in one of the Big 4s as an Accounting & Finance grad instead of an ACCA grad? 2nd question: If i plan to work there 2-3 years just as a stepping stone for my career, do u think it's necessary to pursue my ACCA so that when i join other companies, it's easier for me to get into a managerial position or something?

Sorry if u think these are stupid questions cos I'm kind of a noobie here hehe. Thanks!

hello there...

i heard that some rumour that KPMG is having Pay Cut. Can any1 confirm this?

i guess, having pay cut is much better than retrenchment.

pwc is currently under investigation in India for its role in the satyam scandal, can pwc go the way of Arthur Anderson?
