Hi guys, I have applied for PwC's advisory (deals) 2 weeks back. I have gotten a reply but they were telling me to undergo a 2-month internship until January and then they'll only convert me to a full-time position. When I tried to ask what are the chances or % of converting, they didn't give me an actual answer.

Is there any advice on this? Because I have another good offer and has to make a decision in a couple of weeks' time.

Firstly, congratulations. What's your major?

Hi, I hope someone here could clear my concern. I have attended an interview at KPMG Penang two weeks ago (12 Oct). I have been told by interviewer that the interview result would be expected to know within 2weeks. At the same time, I have also been told to attempt the online test ( verbal reasoning section) for second time as I had failed the first attempt on verbal reasoning test section. The HR replies my first follow up email that my interviewer has not yet come back to her regarding my interview result. To date, I never receive any update from HR regarding my status.

Does this imply that I had rejected by them? If not, would them inform me about rejection through email or phone call ?

Thank you for your reply.

Hi everyone, I’m an ACCA finalist with 2 papers remaining and I’d applied to all big firms and medium firms as well back in September, however the only reply I’ve gotten was from EY and it’s a straight rejection. Is it hard for me to find a job in audit?

If I were to apply for Jan intake, when should I submit my resume and other information? And should I resubmit my information all? And can anyone state the intakes for the big 4s? Thank you in advanced.

Perhaps u should try to call n follow up if u r really keen with it?

I guess is best to call up n ask them about the status n see if the outcome has been out yet?

Nope, i have friends who failed few times and managed to get in big 4. It all comes down on how you present yourself in the interview.

How you perform in interview will affect the job offer. Your results will affect your job application depending on the HR filtration process.

But I haven’t even gone thru the interview. I applied big and medium firms and none of them reply, not sure if it’s my presentation of the resume or they really not taking ACCA FInalist at the moment.

Yeah, I would want to believe that the result shouldn’t be the main reason, I screened my resume to people who are experienced too. I couldn’t figure the reason. Should I reapply my resumes to the firms at this time?

Reapply seems desperate tho, you dont want that
Unless you call and they tell u to resend directly to HR email, thats different

One thing you should think about is, what makes you different than other applicants
The key is being different, in a good way

If you put ACCA as academic, and clubs as your extra-curi
To be frank, thats just another resume, nothing special just like the majority

Or maybe they dont need people atm yet, so dont lose hopeya

You should review your resume and apply to more firms. There's alot of audit firms out there. I'm sure you will get through atleast 1 of them. Its honestly way easier to get into medium firms than big4 for me.

Nothing stopping you. But I think internally big 4 got cooling off period. Can be 6 months to 1 year.

Hi everyone, I’d received an email from kpmg and they asked me to do the online assessment test. After submitted the online assessment and this recruiter asked me to resit for the test because I failed one section of it.

However yesterday I’d received a rejected email from different recruiter saying that my qualification doesn’t screen thru. So does that mean that I’m not qualify?
