I just got a phone interview from EY for Audit Associate position. I was totally caught off guard and unprepared, though I guess I answered most of the questions fairly well.

Always be ready guys after you've submitted your application, you'll never know when they will call you!

It is possible, a guy with cpga lower than 3.0 get into one of the big4 (not to mention which one). But initially he was not being shortlisted for the interview. I heard pipu said he keep calling the HR to convince them to give him an interview opportunity. and boom! He succeed. FYI, he is very active in co-cur and accounting club, the HR in big4 and mid tier firms know him.

Pwc is hard, they have too many applicants. Aim other firms, and call them daily to kacau until they feel ur passion.  rclxms.gif

Hey man, after reading ur comment, i felt like is almost hopeless to expect a call from big4 already sad.gif

Hello. 2.3/4? If it, then I would say your results are not really good to be honest. You might not even get called up by the big 4s even with such impressive involvement in cocuriculum activities because they are really looking for people with second upper AT LEAST! Unless you completed your internship there, or else I would say it is impossible to enter. I have friends who got second upper and got booted out during the interview process.

Maybe you can consider taking ACCA/CPA/CIMA and beautify your CV with a professional qualification? Good luck!

i did have internship back in sabah EY but currently im working at this SME audit firm in KL. im currently taking CPA paper and passed 2 paper without failing. gonna use it to beautify my CV but myself not really confident if big4 would really call or not

I got several telephone interview from EY already over 3-4 weeks, but somehow they need me to submit my documents again. My planned starting date is 1 August.

For PwC I was informed that their August intake is fulled already, therefore the next one would be September. I only got an email from them stating that they are reviewing my resume currently.

EY Rejected me sad.gif but i received email from Pwc stating they reviewing my resume currently but has not give me a call to arrange interview. im worried that they might be just trolling me sad.gif

did they reply through an email or phone call? I dint get any reply after 2 months since the application submitted  sad.gif  should i take that as a reject....

hey, they reply through email to me. there 2 version of the email where one is to regret you and another would be stating that you being shortlisted. my friend had a call before she receive the email and arrange for the interview where my case is that i got the email but not the call yet after almost 2 week? . my advise is to give them a call and ask what the status on ur application. i called 3 days and i think they must be pretty busy to pick up any call.
