[Sjd_238]

let us know if u get a call...

whats the pattern at kpmg do they take tests...or just interview

any idea...how many applicants and seats are available at karachi office.

[hk_cca89]

I've heard from two of my friends that only candidates with good reference are considered in kpmg unlike other big 3 firms, and selection have already been made, that's y no one will receive a call from kpmg.
Please someone who knows about kpmg through light on the this issue

[Sjd_238]

may be your right

achually I know some one who used to work at AFF Ferguson, he said that the condition of kpmg isn't so good. They haven't been able to expand with time, so they hardly hire new trainees.

May be what your saying is true, but that makes things worse for me, I would be left with only one firm aka deloittes.

which firms have you applied for? Do you have any info. about deloittes?

[hasanzaidi]

No that's not true about KPMG.........i m a CA student and now inducted at KPMG widout reference (paawa)......though it is true that references works in every firm..... I know many who have used references and got inducted

[hk_cca89]

<b></b>DELOITTE<b></b>
I got call from Deloitte for TEST, but i ignored as i was already recruited at KPMG

<b>AFF</b>
My interview was on 21st september, but i am now rejected.....
they were asking a hell lot of typical technical qns....i was having lack of confidence coz an hour earlier i had given interview at KPMG

<b>KPMG</b>
First interview was wid HR....and it was not so good.....he asked <b>ABOUT ME</b> type qns...took max 10mins.....
2nd interview was wid partner and no technical qn, he was just looking for confidence and communication skills and asked qns regarding WHY KPMG etc....

<b>EY-FORD RHODES</b>
First was wid HR and took max 4mins...lady also asked ABOUT ME type qns
Today was final interview wid MR.PERVAIZ MUSLIM....he asked two typical technical qns and ABOUT ME and ABOUT EY qns... at end he said will answer you in 4 working days... which is indirectly that i am rejected...coz today two of my frnds are selected on the spot....
