Hi Okpueze,

We are in the same situation. I applied to BAS. We'll just contact them as soon as we pass out.

I also heard similar "stories". Whatever, let's first go through the first interview, the picture will become clearer.

Which dept did you apply to? Don't u think we should keep this thread running to keep ourselves posted?

Merry xmas and a happy prosperous 2008. 2008 is our year!

If you passed the test, the 1st interview should be a walk in the park. I am of the opinion that the hardest part in a recruitment process is the aptitude test. I wrote the test in July 2006 and did my first interview in September 2006. I didn’t know much about KPMG at the time, but the guy who interviewed me (Femi Ogunlana) actually told me about each of the departments and said I’ll be considered for the “information risk management dept.”. Ever since then I have been in the dark I was informed that I passed the 1st stage sha.
As per the interview they’ll want to dwell on the contents of your CV. so make sure all that’s in there is true. From then on it’ll be typical interview questions like:
Why you want to work in KPMG?
Tell me of a time when you had to make a tough decision, tell me of a time where you displayed a leadership quality, tell me of a time where you had to take a decision that was against what other people thought was right and how you were able to convince them that you decision was the right one etc. I’m sure by now you get the idea. Aha, also be prepared to defend the essay topic you wrote in the test.
My advice is that you should just be confident. Make sure you ask some questions too, try to engage in some conversation and just don’t allow it to be a one way thing.
Hopefully we’ll meet some day.

Re: Kpmg Interviews(feb. 2008) by flooow: 12:17pm On Feb 19, 2008
Hello guys,

For those of u waiting to call them after nysc, i hope u have all done that, Kpmg is presently recruiting. They take new people in march after nysc and there are so many peolpe making calls now, so i really hope u have made those calls!!!

For those having interviews, well, it can be a long process, can take weeks but since they are recruiting now, be rest assured it wont take too long, it might just take 3 or 4 weeks depending on how well u prove urself. Do ur homework before the interview and u'l surely come out fine.

anybody in the dark? Not sure if u passed one stage, moving to the next stage? or have u been kept on hold for quite a while? pick up ur phones, call the hr guys, they'r nice folks, trust me,

All the best guys,
Re: Kpmg Interviews(feb. 2008) by nkemdilimi: 2:45pm On Feb 19, 2008
Hi guys,

I'm fully convinced they will call us for interviews any moment from now.

I got an invitation for the interview on 19th February with Adaeze Balogun. I got another call later intimating me that the interview has been shelved.

I'll advise we all get ready because they will certainly call us sooner we might think.

Best of luck to every1.

Okpueze, we meet at BAS as colleagues!
Re: Kpmg Interviews(feb. 2008) by RobbieLex: 9:28pm On Feb 19, 2008
yeah kpmg is calling everyone now for interviews, i'm about to have my second interview in a bit.

my advise is read up a bit on the departement you are interviewing for and then just be confident, they are really nice people. Adaeze Balogun is really nice too.

All the best folks
Re: Kpmg Interviews(feb. 2008) by gabby21684(m): 1:01pm On Feb 20, 2008

I heard they want to conduct a mass recruitment test on the 29th and we that passed our test over a year ago have not been called for interview. I wonder what is going on. Sha, lets keep on praying. Nkemdilkimi, thanks for your word of hope, I wish every body the best.

Happy Easter to u 2. all d best!
Re: Kpmg Interviews(feb. 2008) by RobbieLex: 6:52pm On Mar 22, 2008
Hi guys

so sorry haven't checked this thread in ages

anyway my advice is that you call them up just incase they have misplaced your file or something, i actually didnt wait for them. You should try to get your hands on a direct line, really wish i could help you with that but i can't exactly give out a number on this forum, so my advice is if you have a friend that works there you could try to get a direct line for one of the hr ladies from them.


Cheers all
and happy easter
