Thanks for info. So sad about this. Was really hoping for this year. Do you have an idea of any departments under advisory apart from iarcs that might be in need for urgent september recruitment. Thanks again! [/quote

AUDIT. However 11th September is 2 weeks away,so you can't be too sure of anything really. U may choose audit and u may not get scheduled to start september. So you see..its ur choice though.

Okay. On the application form for my documentation on monday, i've decided to go for MC,cos of my love my M $ S consulting and interactions and experience with people that work at Mckinsey (The best MC firm in the world). The only thing deterring me from choosing MC is their very slow process according to people's accounts considering the fact that ''I think'' KPMG wants to speed up the recruitment process for possible entry in september, so I don't know whether choosing MC might have a negative impact on hopes for september entry, still thinking about it.

Also, the main question is : can you describe how MC's AC is like and how it is different from others. What should one expect for MC's AC.

Finally,Plssss, I would still really want to connect with you if that's okay with you hence the PM. Thanks!



Uhmmm If you are choosing MC with the hope of getting in with september intakes,it's not gona be feasible. MC has ended their recruitment for the year. So you should be looking at sometime from nextyear (or even end of the year,but not september). However if you really wana do MC,you may as well wait for MC even though it may take a while. It's gona be worth the wait for you if that is what you really like.

Yeah, management consulting. Thanks. Is it just advisory that does this? Because I've never heard of it before.

It's just MC that I've heard doing such(from the previous thread). When is the lunch?

I wrote the test on 24th June
Got the congratulations message
Only 7 of us from the hundreds that were invited for the 9 a.m test scaled through.
Funny enough, I didn't even use any study pack to prepare, and the heavy downpour that woke me up on the 24th made me forget my calculator.
I used my head to work the maths while guessing others.
Logic and Verbal, no doubt, gave me the most marks.
The essay questions were: "1. Typically, a presidency is judged by its first 100 days. If you were elected president, explain in clear terms, the policies you will enact in your 1st 100 days.
2. Using reasons and examples, explain what you think is the most important skill for a successful career."
Thanks to Jehovah, I did number 1.
Just got a congratulations mail, and a link for the Business Awareness Test.
Tiwa, please, kindly explain what I should expect on the BAT.
I have till 6 p.m. tomorrow...
Thanks

Cheers!

I scanned and sent in my certificates for the documentation stage 2 friday's ago but I'm still yet to be invited for the AC, do you have any idea how long this might take or why the delay?

Which unit dd u choose?.i waited 3months..some waited 11months..some waited 2 weeks..it all depends on if they still need applicants from the unit you chose. Whatever it may be, put a call across to HR and confirm when you may be called?

Hey guys. Please how long did it take after submitting your application before you were contacted? I applied for Graduate Lawyer since Monday. I only got an automated mail informing me of my candidate reference number and saying that my application is being reviewed and if it matches the job requirements, I'll be contacted.

Monday is barely a week ago. When they must have gotten a good number of applicants for that position,then the test will be scheduled, and you will be contacted. It could be up to a month..could be more,could be less. Just keep calm.

Audit, Tiwa. I was told applicants were in previous years, engaged in an abstract reasoning test. Just needed to corroborate the claims.

Don't think anybody from audit did that this year though. Just, interview,groupwork and presentation.

Hi Tiwa. I appreciate your comments and assistance. They've been helpful, to say the least. I'd like to know if you were presented with an abstract/diagrammatic reasoning task during your AC. Thanks.


For TRPS I wasn't but i heard some units were actually given a written test as part of their assessment. Which unit did you choose?

Thanks. The mail was sent to me almost immediately after I typed above.

Yeah, I replied immediately. I though we are many and the confirmation will be used to weed those that we do early and those that will come later.

Any tips?

Ok. Try and get familiar with the other participants you will be paired with before you start off. During your panel interview,ensure you keep eye contact and you smile. They should not ask you a lot of questions cuz they actually allocate a limited time for their panel interviews.

For the group work,you will be given a case study to tackle with your team, it's usually quite easy and straightforward,however make sure you participate.do not interrupt anyone as they speak,and if you do not agree with what a member says,state constructively. They are watching you. If you want to speak,make sure what you are saying is actually meaningful and keep to time.

For personal presentation. Its gonna be for 5mins tops per person. You won't be using your phones or writing materials,just your head..lol. the questions could be quite lengthy. Be coincise. Maintain eye contact as well. At the end of it all,they should tell you all they liked and did not like about you.

However, personally I always hinge on God's grace in everything I do. A lot of people actually did all of the things I pointed above but still didn't make it past AC. It was not even all of these that helped me because my interviewers unlike others, did not welcome a conversational interview or a relaxed one. They even said it.So if you are a christian, do your best but my dear, it's all about God at the end of the day.. for me. Have fun,come early and dress smart. All the best.

I chose TRPS too. I'm for AC tomorrow.

Please, my mail does not include time. Did yours include when you were sent?

The time and venue were boldly written on my mail. It may come in later this evening,but send an email to the address that mailed the AC invite to you, or better still, call the number attached to the mail.

I hope you replied the mail where you were asked to confirm if you would be in attendance?

Feefeee:

Abi oo, I'm shocked. I was here thinking I wasn't the only one.

Nobody is hoarding info, we all have different Units right?, and as such the AC's differ by unit,unlike PWC where everyone goes in for AC irrespective of the Unit they may fall into after training.

Another thing you should understand is, KPMG too unlike PwC will give you a success or regret mail some days after AC ,and once again putting you in wait for PI, and as such ppl who got regret mails may not wana come back on the thread. Let us not leave out the fact that, not much people comment on the kpmg thread asides those looking out for study packs to prepare with.

You shouldn't wait for people to comment about AC,call up HR and ask them watsup for your unit. That was what I did and I got scheduled for AC the next week. Go through the 2015 thread and get all the info you need about AC.. to me it differs by Unit and by the interviewers. The case study I got in my Unit was totally different from what those in Audit had. My presentation was 5 mins while audit had 1min. My interview lasted for 20mins(some had theirs for only 10mins), while audit is usually longer I heard. So in a nutshell,don't put your mind into all these. KpMG recruitment process is totally different and unpredictable. Try and see if you can find someone in the unit you applied to,ask them for tips on the Unit's AC.

Finally, the most important thing you still need to know is Why KPMG and why did you choose your unit?be confident,smile and maintain eye contact.
