A1- Yeah it does, almost 25%-30% weight is given to your responses during interview.
A2-Try appear to be confident Never try to show (in an aggressive way) that you know more than what the interviewers know. Or to feel offended when a seemingly silly question is asked. Be gentle in replying. This is the blunder I made during my EY (Middle East) panel interview.
A3- Be ready anything related to the profession can be the subject.
A4-well, TFL/IELTS outside Pakistan may matter but not much in Pak. Follow what interviewer excepts from you. If he is conversing in Urdu/etc, talk in Urdu and when he switches to English it means he wants to test your communication skills in and command over English.
A5-best reference is client of the firm.
A6-commerce graduates (B Com/ BBA from famous institutes) are preferred. (especially in big 4 outside Pakistan)
A7-If in Pak, yes but out Pak (especially middle east) no way
A8- IT consultancy, management consultancy or the partners/managers decide this not you. They see what serves their interest best. You are going to be just trainee not a full time life long serving employee, firms keep their interests over what students themselves want to do. But after a year or so when you may have developed some good rapports you may if you know how to and which key person to target for the purpose.
A9-such exp is rarely demanded/expected of new joiners but if you have, it will add little weight to the chances of your being selected.
A10-The answer to the question is âu will know when you get thereâ.
