Do all Big 4 has a recruitment policy like if you not able to pass the interview or any test, they will screen you out for the next 1 year or so and encourage you to reapply again after 1 year?
Can I have specific details on all Big 4? Thanks. |

QUOTE(Danielyo @ Jan 23 2016, 09:00 PM) my cgpa is fine,3.50 out of 4.0,had working experiences in sales line and decent leadership positions in several clubs although i never done internship before and i just graduated and 26 this year.............both ey and pwc pg rejected me thru email after i called them up.........had a tax interview with kpmg thru friend's connection which i talked well and showed good knowledge but got a feeling they aint gonna hire me cuz interviewer said i was more of an outgoing dude who loves to meet ppl instead of sitting in computer all day and i screwed up the tax computation part a bit altho i told interviewer where my mistakes were............should i start from small firms cuz i got few offers with em?but it aint gonna look good if i apply as experienced hire in later stage.............. What the interviewer told you about being outgoing is true. Of your personality us not suitable for the work that you will have to do a majority of the time, you'll be in trouble.  ..............guess deloitte is the last resort but i gotta find out where the wrongs at 1st b4 applying to them.....anyway bdo still hasnt replied me tooAccounting firms tend to be very structural and hierarchical. Being too vocal, can potentially be a problem unfortunately. If you are going to specialise in tax, why not go to deloitte. The sentiment is that deloitte is the tax leader in malaysia. Being an experienced hire only means you'll likely to be demoted when you move to a big 4 later on. The methodologies used, especially audit will be very much different too. |

Is ur presentation skill good? IMO CGPA and resume is just an entrance ticket, u need to present really well to impress them. I don't have good CGPA but i have no problem interviewing, presentation skill is worth practice, most importantly, show ur confident.
Back in my college time, that's a guy everyone knew he can do no shit, but he is very good presenter, he can bullshit through any interview... ofcoz he never last long in any activity/group assignment in college back thn lol... Presentation skill is really important This post has been edited by ragk: Feb 23 2016, 04:20 PM |

I suspect it doesn't have anything to do with anything else, sadly. Go brush up your knowledge and try again later perhaps? |

Of your personality us not suitable for the work that you will have to do a majority of the time, you'll be in trouble. Not quite true la. Plenty of outgoing and fun loving guys working at the big 4. But sadly the demotion thing holds true, I was in audit so the methodology and approach differences will be a challenge. Many of the experienced hires had to start as an assistant, or at best senior assistant. Not sure about tax though, cause i would think that tax is tax, with little room for variations?Accounting firms tend to be very structural and hierarchical.
