KPMG , Audit interview questions

The first interview was an on campus interview with HR. I was asked very behavioral questions: strengths/weaknesses, an accomplishment I am most proud of, to explain a challenge I faced and how I overcame it. The second round was with a KPMG partner or manager. They asked a few behavioral questions and gave me background on their career. They also asked what sector of KPMG I would be interested in working: financial services or metro.

Although not the same in every college career center, the process for started through the university. KPMG recruits at my school and we had the opportunity to have an interview. The process began with the submission of a current resume and our degree audit. The interview selection was based solely on grades (3.3 or higher). In the first round of interviews, general questions were asked like "What are you strengths?", "What do you look for in an employer?", "Do you prefer to work in a team or independently?", etc. Very general, nothing specific. Once the interview was over (and this may not be the same across the board), but you were notified days later if you were selected for second round interviews in the home office (Hartford, CT in my case). In the office you met with another employee, generally a senior manager or partner of the firm. These set of questions were more specific to your future with the firm like "Why did you choose KPMG?", "What's your plan for the 150 credits?" but this could vary amongst interviewers.
