Congratulations to everyone who has gotten TS letter and those who have done medicals as well. We'll have more success stories soon in Jesus' name.
As for me, I just recently applied to GTbank but no reply/invitation. So this morning, I saw one comment here with about 5 HR staff email addresses and I again sent to all five. I'm joining this Orange family soon by God's grace. I pray the soon doesn't extend to 2015/2016.

Jarus: What do you mean by ordinary graduates?

Definitely not someone that has good CV - with 2.1 or First - in any course, irrespective of who you are. Meet their age limit and good enough to scale recruitment process. No big deal.

And in all humility, the CEO of Accenture is my personal mentor (right from university). He mentored me from my university years and still in touch till today.

I interviewed him here: http://jarushub.com/2013/03/31/i-failed-math-in-year-1-because-i-thought-what-worked-in-secondary-school-would-work-in-university-niyi-yusuf-ceo-accenture-nigeria/

Hello Jarus, I read your thread and agree that these firms are great places to start one's career. Please I really am interested in financial or risk advisory and would love to work with Accenture. I'd be the first to apply for a graduate trainee job there if there were vacancies. Do you by any chance know their recruitment process? Please I'd appreciate a response

beau49: Have you tried applying to any of these audit firms and Access bank I think is still recruiting?

I've applied to those with openings presently. Thanks for the information, I'd check out Access bank

I'm an accounting graduate with a 2:1 and I need a job.

Morning people, please those that have had partner interview with IARCS unit should give me pointers on what to expect. Please people

Vitalis13: [color=#000099][/color] please don't laugh at me o. During my medicals, i told them I had a little trouble with eczema on my back. Hope it won't disqualify me o?

Looool. Wow, you've gone far. Congrats...
How did your partner interview go?

dephilosopher: I am yet to hear from kpmg oooo. Did my senior manager interview IARCS on d 14th of July. Pls pray for me ooo peeps

The wait is crazy but you have to be positive and patient. I'll say a prayer for you...
We'll all have testimonies

venabili: then y wud dey drop u? an applicant doesnt get more perfect dn dt. this pple sef, na wa for them o. or na MSc accounting or ICAN dem dey look for?

Technically, I wasnt dropped. The manager at forensic just felt I'm better suited for IARCS. Na dem sabi

Koffies: Wow, that must have been painful but then God probably has different plans for your friend.
I'm quite certain its a partner's interview I have next week Thursday though but thanks, I'll familiarise myself with the topics you mentioned. God bless you...whatever happens sha, God knows best. Thanks again

I forgot to mention that I did study accounting

venabili: means u didnt study accounting or related course. u will most likely be called for another manager interview by IARCS. forensic seems to be dropping pple ds days. my friend was dropped and told to go for FRM. he agreed but was told he wasnt successful at FRM manager interview. its quite painful. wish u d best sha, try and read up on internal auditing, functions etc. u will see journals online or even wiki articles. u gotta display knowledge of d field and relate it to real world scenarios. u can contact abbeywasc, he may be of help. one luv

Wow, that must have been painful but then God probably has different plans for your friend.

I received feedback on my senior manager interview today. Bad news is that I was dropped from forensic unit. Good news is that I was recommended for IARCS which i accepted. Partner's interview soon...thanks to God. Any tips for IARCS as I dont know much about this unit. Please help a sister out

tolutito: In my opinion you should subscribe to job mails ,,.if possible every job mails....and you can also browse for latest graduate trainee/graduate jobs in Nig....

Na only me waka come on this issue I explained earlier? Jesus oo

suavelara: someone vast with KPMG should pls answer this

Yes, they do. Whichever one suits you

Congrats everyone that made it to the end.
To those of us coming after you, please I have a few questions;
How many recruitment windows do they have per year?
I checked their website today n its like the portal for 2014 recruitment is closed already. Please when is the best time to apply n how do I go about it?
Thanks

Hi all, please I'd like to know how you guys applied to EY....against next recruitment. Please your responses wld be appreciated

Those applying to risk consulting department like iarsc, forensic, ita...the procedure is slightly different. Abbywassc (hope i spelt that right) did a good job on providing information on the AC stage but I'll add a few more tips;
When you want to make your personal presentation, make sure you opt to use visual aid i.e writing your points on the board for your audience. You'd remember more n appear co-ordinated.
During your group work, dont be scared of taking leadership reins. Assign tasks to team mates; time keeper, collator of points, presenter....
Make sure you're contributing. Dont let yourself be 'bullied'. Enough said
Socialise with other applicants before entering for your exercises. I was asked if I had met anyone from my uni amongst other applicants. Turned out there were two people from my uni but I didn't know. Bottom line, if asked something tricky, give smart response

Now to my own problems, I did senior manager interview on the 9th of July and till now, I'm yet to get a feedback as to my success or otherwise( otherwise is not my portion, amen). Seriously though, its scary cos the feedback for AC came a day after and this one has become a week, no response. Anyone in my shoes?
I called HR yesterday and was told to calm down and that it had to do with my interviewer not providing them with my results yet. I shall now proceed to pray on the man's case
