After working for 3 years in mid tier, PWC still rejected me mainly because of my uni results.

Then consider it their loss and move on lor... The Big 4 are generally spoilt for choice and use results as the first level filtering...

It's somewhat similar to IBs

What is your long term goal, perhaps skip this step and take a longer route to achieve your long term goal instead

Opportunity is everywhere bro. I applied to big4 and BNM. Both failed. I then got the opportunity to enter MOF which is on top of BNM.

I would like to see you ordering BNM around cool2.gif

I graduated from an Australian uni, it's just a pass for me. 53% average lol. 50% is passing.

Sighh no point looking back on the past but honestly results is very important to secure a job as well or higher chance I would say. Which uni doesn't matter.

*u won't lose out starting your career in mid tier, big 4 have big clients and they usually are specialized according to specific industry.

Could probably be the way he did the interview.

may have rubbed some people the wrong way ?

I have interviewed some people that I would consider borderline cocky.

I dont give 2 shits about your talking skills nor your leadership qualities. displaying them and talking about it too much is 2 different things.

If all you talk about is the prestige of working in a big named mnc and being a leader, you dont show the skills of being a worker / trainee.

could be cause of that. I have turned down many applicants who were too cocky for their own good. Like outright, told hr, never to hire in a million years.

academics checkout, personality nope.

The question is what have you been doing in your current interviews and how to change it up so that you are more hire friendly.

do you wanna share your cv? blank out the sensitive, maybe the forumers can help.

also, look thru the interview thread to see where you can pick it up...

I don't think they is a problem with your resume, but rather on how the interview went. Look yourself in the mirror and perform your interview and evaluate. If your resume has issues you wont be getting the calls from the companies.

The key to impress the interviewers is to be yourself. Calm, be confident and most importantly be yourself in showing what you are (what you are capable of? strength as well as balancing out with your weaknesses) Wear neat and professionally, that will do! smile.gif Not ignoring that you must fully equipped with preparations on knowledge for that designated position you want to apply!

Then buckle up on your knowledge by reading up more business magazines related to the questions. If you can't understand, you should Google it and find out what's the meaning of it.
