Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to present something to a group of people and how did you get organised for this presentation.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EY (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
This was an on campus interview. I was prepared for most of the questions, but the last question, I didn't anticipate. You have to be perfect for this company. If you answer a question that is not the perfect answer that they want to hear, you're screwed. It's totally unfair for them to expect you to have the perfect answer to a question you didn't anticipate. You lose the job even though you know you're fully qualified.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at EY (Birmingham, Inglaterra) in Feb 2007
Interview
Applied on line through a lengthy application form, including long written answers about achievements and what I would do in particular situations.
Interview consisted of a 30minute face-to-face interview with a senior member of staff, who quizzed me on my application form as well as how much I knew about Ernst & Young. I was asked about what I would do in varying situations and how I rank different achievements in my life. I was also asked to discuss how I had demonstrated teaming before an overcome challenges in teams.
I then had a 'group assessment centre'. We had to read information and then debate a given stance on the information. Before then being set a new objective of working together as a team to take a new view point. We then had a 1 hour written assessment about a case study given.
I was informed within 24 hours that I had been accepted.
