Big 4 Interviews (KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, E&Y) can be stressful, but if you prepare and practice enough it will make it a much easier and relaxed experience. The Big 4 firms are looking for polished, professional, and hard working students to fill their slots for new hires.
They want professionals that they feel comfortable putting in front of their client. Students who rocked their accounting courses, focused solely on school and got 4.0′s meet their match at the first interview: The On-Campus Interview. It is the first round of the interview process and is commonly known as a “Fit Test.” If your resume goes through the initial screen process (usually cutting off GPA’s below 3.3 depending on the office), you will be called to have an interview.
The good news is that since there is so much turnover associated with the profession, there are a ton of spots to fill. Since the process is so common it has become almost systematic, so here are some of the things that can help your resume rise to the top of the stack.
