Hi guys. I am going for interview at KPMG on Monday for Audit. I am a fresh grad. I've read most of the posts here already.

So I'm just wondering is it just Verbal and Numerical evaluation and short essay for the assessment? After that Interview?

I am worried about the questions that will be asked during the interview. Do they ask a lot of technical questions or just general to get to know your presentation skills?

Do I need to bring anything specific besides certificates and copies of the certs?

Any idea who will be conducting the interview? Is it just one person or more? HR or the audit department?
Also, if I am lucky that I get this job, will I usually be recruited for the department that interviews me?

Sorry for so many questions. Just want to ace this interview.

Unless they have drastically changed the format, otherwise this should be the standard one (at least that's what I had):

You start off with verbal and numerical tests by Cubiks, then you will be asked to select a topic (usually 2 topics will be given) and write a short essay about it (don't need to write long stories because you will only be given 20minutes if I am not mistaken for that). After that, you will proceed to the interview stage, usually with the audit manager of the department. In my experience, usually Big4s interviewer would be the audit manager/director and quite uncommon for the HR to conduct the interview, except for interns or a very brief preliminary phone interview.

For fresh grad position, depending on the interviewer you get, but usually they won't ask too much on the technical side, in fact none of my interviewers ask on anything technical. They just want to ascertain whether you are fit for the role, heck the first few questions I had last time was 1)Can you work late, 2) Can you work on weekends, 3) Do you have your own transport etc.

And for KP, yes usually you will be in the same department if you do get the job.

Hi guys, please kindly advise...

I've sent in my resume by applying online to all the big 4s last week and early this week. I am only interested in audit so I applied for audit associate / assistant for all 4. I applied to Deloitte and they got back to me really fast! They called me like 3 days after I sent in my application and I was done with assessments and group activity within a week. Now I'm waiting for their offer. The rest has yet to get back to me even for assessment.  sad.gif

Is this normal as I thought it's hiring season now? My first choice really was PwC but I'm a bit worried now; it has been a week plus and they have yet to get back to me. Is it because am not qualified enough for them?

Thank you.

I went for interview with KPMG last week. They got back to be the day after I sent in my application. however, I have not received reply from them yet. I called them to ask but they said they do not know the results yet. But I asked them when I was there they said they are not interviewing many people now. They have been for the past few months.
