I found this topic very interesting, especially as I just became an ACCA affiliate and plan to start training after joining ICAP.
First of all Ali please allow me to add my dua and wishes to the above that you find a good firm soon.
The parts about the reference interested me most. I will soon start applying for articleship but I dont know how to go about it. I have a reference in a big 4 firm, so should I try their first and not apply anywhere else? But I also dont want to depend on the reference and know I will have to be confident and knowledgeable in the interviews etc. Can anyone guide me as to how to gain some idea of local laws and practices they might ask about? Since Ive studied foreign qualification Ive not that much idea about local regulations etc. If someone can give me basic guidelines about what to expect and how to prepare for in interviews and test it will be very helpful!!
