Interview
Get good grades first (that's a must). Get an internship first if you may. Try internships in different industry groups, try advisory, try assurance. Make a good impression during your internship. Long hours is a given, if you can't work past midnight, forget it.
No internship? get the grades, be good in English. Find a referral from within the firm. Get yourself prepared about the current issues in audit / assurance. Knowing some technical knowledge on standards is a plus especially if you're interviewing for a senior role.
Be vocal, opinion-ted but not rude. Team playing characteristics is a must at an interview.
We're client based and project based. If you like working alone, don't go for this job.
Applications must be submitted online, just fill up the form, Call in HR to check up every 2-3 days to display enthusiasm. Try to network with friends who know the direct phone lines with specific HR personnel, try to understand the organisation structure and whom is who in the firm, especially the Hiring managers. Go for those student events where PwC is setting up booth, go speak to them, most people overlook these events, because here is where you can make an impression among st the thousands of CVs.
