V,
first time i hear ppl donwan to go interview becos of transport problems--go and find out what they offer first. U are just starting out- u should be brave and find out more. U already hv exp in big4- but u went there at the busiest period- if u can survive that u can do well.  Bet with you -compare yourself with your frens in other job after three years- if still regret- I am sure if u want to do accounting/financial, this is the best choice. U do not sound like a rich gurl (no car or driver) but professional qualf can still take u very high up and on your own merit 2.

Okay-  okay i think too much cafferine for me this morning but still u are very lucky to have good education oredi.  Schedule interview to a convenient date so u can concentrate on exams. This is past busy season n i think D can wait for a week.

Relax- if uare really good, they will try to sell u how good D is- ask them all the question like work environment, how much ot, etc etc all the things u saw/experience as VT-

Question?- why your VT firm no offer you jobleh?

Hehe... My dad just changed the only auto car to manual car... All the cars in the hse are manual now... I can drive but not in the bz road... Not really use driving manual after 4 yrs driving auto.. I believe its not hard to drive a car but its abt estimation how to park car especially at the uptown area.. I believe I've been that area be4 (I guess I forgot d).

Tomolo I have Tax exam.. next week, audit... Arghh.... Study isnt a prob... understanding how all the each chaps stories goes takes time... Hehe.. I guess I've been procrastinating too much... whistling.gif

I applied PWC 1st.. They just take damn long to reply me... then I applied D... they called me the next day... My previous firm that I'm working with... Haven apply yet... haha... tongue.gif Dont ask me why... I dunno... mayb I dowan go back there!!?? Clueless

And best part, I'm not local... that's y I need to get a nearer hse to the office to save transport cost... Asking my dad to buy me a car isn my style... I rather be independent. Yeah.... Girls Power!! kekekeke icon_rolleyes.gif

Added on April 10, 2008, 11:12 amand veena, renting whole unit at area near uptown is kinda hard and is quite expensive, the cheapest one around i think is puncak damansara condo, that also around at least RM800....

unless u option for those flat next to pelangi utama, that flat also need 650/month.. very expensive... ;(
*
It should be cheap d... over here, Sunway... I already rented rm1k hse for e whole hse cause its only walking distance to college. Condo or Flat, consider small d... easier to maintain the cleanliness.

not to hurt veena feeling but u said u applied for PwC's right? did anyone of them call you to inform you of their next assessment? as far as i m concerned, pwc's next audit assessment is on tuesday morning. they have already made the announcement to all SHORTLISTED candidates 2 weeks prior. the next assessment is in may. so if you're still keen with PwC, send it again after tuesday smile.gif good luck.

i was a student from sunway as well.

Thanks for your info... Actually I already got a called from them earlier and they offering me VT position [I didn mention here be4] After a while conversation, they found out they mistakenly place my resume on for the person incharge for VT and then she promise to passed my resume to the person in charged for the permanent position. I understand that the assessment is on next tuesday morning... I stand no chance for that it d since... u know... pushing my resume here n there really takes time and it might lost somewhere else d biggrin.gif

In addition, I did ask about VT position for this coming batch and Nov-Dec-Jan Batch... and they are still available... Guess wad, Dec batch has already filled half... Those who are interested for that batch, you gotta be hurry and apply now.. I wonder why PWC is such a HOT item among Big4... blink.gif

P/S: I went for a tour there last few weeks... Its damn nice... nice design, big... enuf workstation for everyone... new lappie, upgraded security... and wad I hate the most is the lift... Let say, I accidently forgot to bring my tag or left it on the workstation... YOU CANT USE THE LIFT... ITS DAMN HIGH TECH... hahahahaaaa...

btw, EY's place is terrible smile.gif the outside level 23A and 25 looks good because that's where they usually entertains outsider but the departmental offices.. omg.. my uni's library also look more professional and nice

I plan to apply for some of big fours for full time position.

Just to ask, if I have no internship experience and an average 3.5 gpa, do I stand a chance for getting shortlisted for interview?

Also, I'm majoring in Finance, which I I should go into?  advisory/tax/audit?

Thanks
*
U should have join wit me... haha... I'm also majoring in finance wad... but just double major acc & fin.. those 3 sections.. advisory/tax/audit... all 3 also can join... i had a fren who is studying engineering did intern as VT in audit dept.. wad u think???

It just depends on... wad kinda environment u like... such as, advisory = pretty hard to apply cause its not a demand job..hard to find empty slots to hire new employee in... the working hours is just nice... can go back sharp 5.30 or 6... or depends

Tax... also the same... quiet flexible... maybe sometimes, u have to stay back late for some deadlines.. normally can go back ard 7 something d..

Audit, stay back lar until 8-9 everyday during mid-peak hrs.. if peak hours, prepare to stay back late.. mayb have to stay overnite @ office as well... Mac - Nov ===> not peak season...

** this is the feedback I got from a 3 diff seniors from PWC **

So, for your enquiries which one should you go IS YOUR CHOICE... we cant really decide for you.. do more research and try find some seniors and ask them how's their working life... that's was I did now... Just that, I dun have any senior frens work in D.. anything abt D I'm quiet blur.... wad I heard is negative stuff abt D... I dun care.. biggrin.gif

what is "im least to tax" ? but u're right on audit.  as audit is a very challenging field which requires commitment also, not many ppl can take it. most leave after a couple of months. so the turnover quite high. as a result, always looking for staff wan smile.gif

haihyoh sister, u got internship experience before, last time u go interview nv prepare all this wan meh ? nvm nvm. tomorrow go uptown early. there shud have those kedai or 24hrs kiosk which normally got photostating machine

GOOD LUCK VEENA.! what time ur interview??

Yeah, most ppl cant tahan audit... actually I aso cant tahan my internship for 2 mths ther but the best thing abt audit is... U really get to know alot of new place to eat more like jalan jalan cari makan.... haha.... My intern last yr was like.. my team is auditing the Co which main holdings in KL, subs in Klang and Glenmarie... 2 weeks in KL, a week in Klang, a week in Glenmarie... depends how fast my team done all the sightings and their sections lar..... I did stock taking, sightings, all ez sections la...


They all never mention abt I should prepare this and that for interview... I thought just bring my photocopy IC, Ori Certs and my photo... that's was mention by the HR... * I understand, its my mistake not doing my proper research on this... giving lotsa of excuse doesn mean anything... icon_idea.gif

I never been to interview be4... my previous intern was a very special case where my resume and certs are send online.. HR ppl called me, then ask when I'm free to start work... then next day go work lor... where got interview like meetings partners or managers... Bro, my interview @8.30am... *faint faint* doh.gif doh.gif cry.gif

DIE!! doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Sweet Cat,

they still hiring sec?? Is sec position @ D aso quiet high turnover?? I met 3 ppl who came super earlier than me. 2 pretty girls on sec position, 2 for audit plus me lar... I reached sharp 8.30am... Jam all the way from Subang... Damn far ler... its like 30-45 min drive...

Manager was kind enuf to tell me her exp ... chit chatting for a while.I personally asked her abt Tax and Advisory as well..Hmmm... I cant give my reason why I didn choose TAX when she asked me... sad.gif

Abt the assessment, YoRRRrrr.... they gave like 20 min to finish 100 Q on English site there... I didn manage to finish it... Manager asked me alot on my essay... why? She was curious!!! My essay topic is Who am I admire the most and why??? and my answer wasn my parents... She said.. 90% would have say parents.. and mine was diff... I had someone I really admire the most... biggrin.gif

Yeah, really too much writing.. I felt weird lar... EY, PWC, KPMG using laptop for assesment.. D use paper assesment... Hehe... can score full marks lar.... Others Big3.... I can get nighmare constantly thinking whether can pass or not...

I did something stupid... I asked her, how much should I asked for my pay in future?? How much will you offering me?? Wanna know how much?? PM me... Too confidential to mention over here... Oh gosh, I would never imagine that much aso... Screw my frens info lar... sweat.gif

Yeah yeah, they are going to KIV in application since I haven complete my degree yet... She doesn sound convincing enuf to hire me cause ITS TOO EARLY... haha... If its early lar, why called me so early go interview??

p/s: Sweet cat, drk messenger & Jonathan... Do D have young pretty girls and leng chais a??? How come those I've seen moving ard kinda like 28-40 yrs old one??? I think I saw KPMG & PWC have too much leng luis d... My fren once told me, wanna see leng luis in KPMG, go level 12... zero guys auditors in the dept... biggrin.gif

Level 3 - Got Miss Malaysia Universe/World (can't remember which) finalist of 2006 (or 07). Got several pretty gals there too.. used to have more but a few resigned liao.
