So is grant Thornton and pkf not offering cadetships this yr?

l8er in the year and pkf no longer exists, it was acquired by BKO

On a side note, I didn't realise Nexia had already finished their intakes =(

Has anyone heard back from any firms yet?
I've sat the SHL test for PWC, but still have not got any responses from any other firm

I've applied for:
PWC, EY, Nexia, ESV, BDO, Bentleys, Boroughs, Hall CHadwick, Moore Stephens
I am a 1st yr Uni Student

I think all offers for Nexia has already been made. We should hear soon from BDO and Hall Chadwick though.

Anyone know about Pitcher Partners? They were at the Convention Centre but they haven't even announced dates yet. I doubt they will be open for cadetships this year. A lot of companies, especially mid to large tier, have nearly finished taking applications and hence they would steal a lot of the top students away. In my opinion, it would be wise for Pitcher Partners to start taking students soon. If they plan to this year that is.

Last year they were at all the ICAA info evenings but I don't think they took cadets. However things may change between years, maybe you should email them and see what you can find out?

They sent me the rejection letter about half an hour after I submitted the application

That's a shame ^^, there are endless opportunities out there.

That's awfully quick.
Must have fussy computer keywords or very bored staff.

Oh well, at least there is plenty of other jobs (and at least they didn't leave you hanging!)

 

[lordfraction]

Indeed, but it is strange that I'm the only one that got a response?

Yep

Not as common as accounting, but they exist.

For example : http://www.onesteel.com/employment/services.asp?category=opportunities&serviceid=19
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/careers/downloads/programs/civil-engineering-cadetship_brochure.pdf
http://www.optus.com.au/aboutoptus/About+Optus/Careers/Engineering+Cadet+Program

Fairly sure some of the larger mining and electricty companies have these as well, but very limited and dependent on where you live and in some cases, what uni.

For example, the RTA one there is UTS/Newcastle/Wollongong/New England students only. No UNSW of USYD surprisingly!

A bit frustrated at the moment because I've been locked out of my PWC account since last week(due to repeating wrong passwords which i was almost certain were right). Couldn't use forget password because it says account locked, and then when I emailed recruitment last week, they reset my password and then I was still locked out of my account -_-. I emailed them again on the weekend, but have yet to hear a reply(they're probably busy with cadet applications and such). Decided to make a near identical account(is that even OK with the terms and conditions?) and see how it goes with application since I don't think I can wait any longer as people are being chosen for phone interviews already! Argh...this is going to look like I just started my application too late...Luckily I had some answers saved.

Just received an email notifying that I have advanced through to the phone interview stage for BDO. From experience or does anyone know what type of questions they will be asking me?
