Chairmen them, I'm loyal. Perfect response

You need to add examples of how they have been able to do this especially in Nigeria.

MikeAsher2:
Alright, so yesterday I met up with someone from on here. She lived close to my office and suggested a 'hang-out' to talk interviews. During lunch break, I spared about 45 mins. I showed up with a sheet of paper and some questions. She was surprised. Lol.

We asked each other questions at one KFC joint, and she was even a bit disappointed that she performed a bit poorly especially with interviews next week. Lol.

I was a bad-ass pretend HR, and then she asked me questions and I tried answering her. We reviewed notes and noted areas for development.

Of course, you know the likely first questions would be: "Tell us about yourself?" if they didn't already ask about how your group members performed. Then they would likely ask "Why PwC?" and these could come in various formats of course. It is how you answer the questions that the interview would likely follow.

Expect a lot of competency questions. After she tried her hands on the intro questions, she flopped in most of the other questions. Yet these are the same questions that have been posted on NL since forever. They are still on here. I asked her if she saw the questions, she said yes, so I asked why she didn't answer very well. She said she thought she had the route to answering the questions very well in her head but at that point she could not quite articulate it.

Those asking how the interviews went just want to hear/read something. Because there is nothing that would likely be new at the stage. The questions have been thrashed many times over. It now depends on how you handle the tension, how you own the questions, answer truthfully, and how much scenarios you offer.

The topics for Group Discussions, well, you can guess them and try to brush up before your interview. However, in my opinion, these are not things you can easily cramp up in your head but are more like what you have known over time. If you follow and read the news normally and went through normal uni/youth experience, you should be able to contribute. Really.

This is why i don't just advise knowing what to answer/say. Say it to yourself in the mirror. Talk to someone, anyone. Contact JarusHub if you want. Except you are naturally good at these things.

I wish you all the best. We out!

You deserve a large bowl of afang soup with plenty orisirisi .

LaRochelle ednut1 TheRealAdonye not the fake..lol.. Do you guys have an idea of when this set is resuming? Anybody with information can also help..

Okay guys, you all need to relax. Calm down. Insisting that interview experiences be put up doesn't make much difference. It's the same from last year, so you can literally get all the information you need for your interview from 2017 thread. I've been in this position before and I know how unsettling post-interviews are, so please cut them some slack and prep for yours. You'll be fine. If they choose to, fine. But if they don't, that's okay.

Also, just something I've noticed so far. Guys, please wear light-coloured shirts. Appearance matters a lot. White, yellow, sky blue, etc.

P. S. The most important thing in your group session is teamwork. I can't say that enough. It's more important than being leader/presenter/time-keeper. Sort yourselves out before you go in and be in sync when discussing issues. Points to help in your group presentations are scattered all over social media. Leverage on them.

Meanwhile, LaRochelle, I found an afang spot today

@ibnchokomah, thank you very much for the insight and I wish u success.

I went through the 2017 thread and I can't help but to salute their doggedness almost everybody shared one thing or the other about their experience during the interview but this year's thread is a complete reversal of what is happening in that thread.

Pls is their anyone slated for June 4?
Let's chat.

here

Okay,I am not part of this recruitment exercise neither am I a staff but I have got 2 main things I wanna point out.
1. Since you guys are being asked situational judgement questions,I advice that after answering some questions,u give a short example, for example,if you are asked,how do you keep relationships? After answering,u cite an example with your personal life,a brief example,don't talk too long and bore your interviewers ooo. This helped me a lot ,during interviews at my own company.
2. If you know you aren't confident ,please visit jarushub so he can brush u up,I promised him I would tell people about him if I succeeded and I did. Its just a token fee and PWC is definitely worth it and more. I was a failure at interviews and ACS and I knew I had to do something extra and to be frank I didn't regret visiting jarushub. He really helped me and all he revised with me was asked,he covered all grounds,slide presentation,interview,group discussion e.t.c.I saw his advert on our thread then just like he is advertising here and I seized the opportunity cos I knew I neeeded tutoring. Today I am totally happy I did.

Tell me na .

Live in Lagos but presently serving in Benue

I didn't want to post this because of personal reasons but on a second thought I think I owe it to posterity to do this because I gained a lot from 2016, 2017 threads and other nairaland threads that I've been following.
I had my pwc interview on friday but before I go into details let me talk about my experience so far. For OPQ, consistency is all they want. Even if u are choosing all the "negative" traits, just be consistent with them. Or better still visit 2017 thread from page 50-65, LaRochelle and her gang laid down some pretty nice traits they were consistent with. You can stick to those traits and be consistent with them.
Back to my interview, my team's topic was Tourism and it's importance to Nigerian economy. For the other team that did on the same day, their topic was Child labor and ways to eradicate it. It's best if your team can choose it's presenter, time keeper, coordinator etc before you guys enter the room as this will save time for your team and everyone should try and contribute as the panelists will be seated on the same table with you guys and will be writing something (scoring you guys) as you people are deliberating on the topic. Contributions is more important than being time keeper or coordinator.
My one on one interview proper: [/b]I was really drilled. [b]No amount of preparation would have prepared me enough for what I went through on friday. I spent closed to an hour and I was asked more than 20 questions. Being truthful is the way forward or if u can construct your response beforehand, good for you. But one thing I learnt from the interview is that you can not prepare enough and you can't plan for every possible situation based questions.
The questions I was asked is as follows:
If given a 2nd chance at the group presentation what will I do differently
Tell us about yourself
Tell us about a time you showcased a skill i mentioned in the "tell us about yourself response"
What do you know about pwc
What do you know about pwc Nigeria
Tell us about a time you showcased your communication skills
How do you stay updated with current news
Tell us about a time you had a conflict with people in my previous place of work
Don't I think I took the conflict too far?
Tell us about about time you learnt something about a new environment
Tell us about a time you interacted with people outside your immediate circle (people you are not familiar with), and your contribution to the interaction
Tell us a time you convinced someone to accept my own idea
Do I know what services pwc offer
Do I know what auditors do
What's your career goal
Do I think engineering has prepared me to be an auditor
Which department did you apply to
Why did you apply to audit
The department my favourite pwc partner works in (because I mentioned a partner as my favourite in one of our discussions)
Do u have a mentor, if yes what impact has he made to your career choice
Tell us about a recent financial news and it's effect on the economy
I was finally asked to ask them a question, which I did
There are still some that I cannot remember and only the first 6 questions are in the order that I was asked

N/B: Please go with your credentials if you can, because some of us were asked for them as they were having problems finding our credentials

The panelists were really nice. I was given a bottle of water and I drank more than half of it. I was even asked to go with the rest

In in all, do your best and hope for the best

Thanks for being detailed, Sheke01. I pray you get an offer.

Another week of interviews, all the best to us having this week. Grace wins!

Hello guyz... i did mine 2day and the group discussion we did was to provide remedy for fulani herdman...
Key is to contribute to the group discussion as the assessors will assess ur performance based on ur contribution.
On 1 on 1 interview, you must show full confidence, read abt pwc, coys pwc audits, ur strength, weekness, how u handled conflict, understand ur present work description well too.

In other news,PWC staffs are the best mehnn..
Madam Toyin also said results will be out by july....

See my pwc peeps in July

Success to those having their interview today.

Please as a non-accounting student, will they ask us questions on basic accounting terms? Do we have to read about basic accounting terms before the interview?

nelronaldo:

They may not directly ask about accounting terms, but you need to have the faintest idea about them. For example, you may be asked what an auditor does or your reason for switching from your area of specialization to audit; to give a good and coherent response, you would need to used some basic audit terms - that should show that you have an idea of what you are going into.

Check out these links

http://www.dummies.com/business/accounting/auditing/important-auditing-vocabulary-and-key-terms/

Be careful though not to dwell too much on them especially if you don't have an in-depth knowledge so they don't capitalize on it.

Goodluck.

This one went to Interview Meeting Room and was looking for MikeAsher2 of Nairaland.

Me sef follow find am. They kept on guessing...

My name is Amarachi but you can call me Onyinyechi

There was that bond from the onset. We discussed almost everything out there until Toyin complained of our noise. Lol. Great guys!

Hahahahaah. i first know say you disturb lolz. terrorist.

you never still tell me the meaning of efiwey oh. and shey we fit borrow you for our own on thursday?

samirnasri:


Hahahahaah. i first know say you disturb lolz. terrorist.

you never still tell me the meaning of efiwey oh. and shey we fit borrow you for our own on thursday?

PM me, make we relate small...

Please

Any idea how many people made it to this round? And is the interview daily...?

MikeAsher2:


PM me, make we relate small...

Alright boss. done

Dheliozy:
Please

Any idea how many people made it to this round? And is the interview daily...?

About 265 were invited for interviews at the HQ, Lagos. I don't know if other offices are also interviewing but I doubt.

I know someone that had to borrow cash to get flight ticket from the UK to come, well after schedule talks with Toyin. I believe a central point for interviews is the idea; anyone with contrary info can post.

Also a few have missed their interviews and many more might miss. Even if there are offers, a portion will reject. Normal Normal...

Interviews are Mondays to Fridays until mid June, bar public hols and such.
