I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Halifax, NS) in Sep 2012
Interview
This position was a four month co-op, so the initial recruiting process began with information sessions where partners, managers, intermediates and juniors presented and were there to network following the powerpoint. Once the application was submitted, one of the managers, who I would later learn was one of the two interviewers, called and asked to me come in for an interview. The day of the interview I was greeted in the reception area by an intermediate accountant working there who was there for me to ask questions before the actual interview process. I was then guided into an office with two managers. Most of the questions they asked were about my resume or lead-offs from something I would say. The actual interview was more so conversational than behavioural, something I quite enjoyed. I was then given a tour of the office and met the hiring manager. The next week, I was contacted by a partner to extend an offer.
