Hey Guyz...Congratz!!!!
As per the interview style......
Itz in 4 stages.....
1st is the group discussion stage---in front of thepanel of interviewers....4 of them (a topic wld b given)One person wld b asked to round up...u all must contribute though....
2nd is the impromptu topic u wld b asked to talk on-----in front of the panel of interviewers....4 of them (like a lucky dip thing)....i.e u wld pick a topic 4rm a bowl of topics.....
3rd is the Client Knowledge Based Questions---in front of 1 or 2 interviewers
4th is the Let us meet u proper kind of interview.....1 or 2 interviewers
for the 1st stage, evry1 slated for that particular session wld do it 2geda so also, is the 2nd stage (a panel form kinda).
for the 3rd & 4th stage, it is a 1 on 1 forum and cld be done interchangably....
so my advice is 2 keep ur minds open and b informed bout the on goings in the country....cuz various topics from youth issues, employement, recession, entrepreneurship, education....e.t.c...cld b asked 4rm...
Goodluck y'll....

@Modupe-oluwa,
Thanks for the info! Well done!
@Modupe-Oluwa: I'm yet to be invited for the interview. Are they still sending out emails or have they sent out all the emails, cos I have this belief that there are some candidates yet to be contacted
Well.....
I know shortlisted candidates are arranged alphabetically, thatz y d different dates. So, u cld find out 4rm those dt av bn invited(i.e ask 4 their surnames to determine if they av finished inviting)....
U shld also try to scan thru ur spam msg...cuz u neva cld tell, it cld b there....also, u cld call their office to confirm, they wld check thru the list and tell u if u av bn shortlisted or not.
1 more thg....relax guyz...itz actually a very simple exercise, though u mite get rily nervous @ 1st.....but wit tym u wld relax.....
4 d impromptu speech, u just av 2 take a deep breathe b4 talking, else u mite end up saying all d wrong thgz...also, dont look @ d reactions of the panelists...so u dont get distracted/discouraged...
All the best guyz and Goodluck too....
C u all on top....
Takia & Take Charge.....
@ modupe-oluwa, thanks alot. God bless you.
Any body who wrote on the 8th yet???? Or are all these invitees from the 4th date???
HOUSE, I THINK MODUPE IS VERY RIGHT, COS MY SURNAME STARTS WITH "B", AND I GUESS I GOT THE CALL EARLY AND I WAS SLATED FOR 8TH OF JULY AT PWC'S OFFICE, MURI OKUNOLA, V/I, LAGOS.. IT COULD BE THAT THEY ARE CALLING ACCORDING TO ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
@MODUPE: YOU ARE TOO MUCH.
@SCOTT:I WAS CALLED THROUGH THIS NUMBER: 01-2711700.THE NUMBER IS ON THEIR TEST INVITATION LETTER. IF YOU SCROLL DOWN.
@ IFY2OKOYE:I WAS SLATED FOR 8TH OF JULY AT PWC'S OFFICE, MURI OKUNOLA, V/I, LAGOS.
What i actually meant was if people who wrote the "TEST" on the 8th(Abuja) have started getting invites for interview.
@ AkanA1, instead of not attending at all, call them and ask if they can reschedule to a date that is more convenient for u. They r usually quite flexible.
I also wrote the test and have not received any email calling for interview... Congrats to all those who were shortlisted for the interview. Good luck.
Tall Chic!
I had been waiting 2 hear from u. All is well. God dey!
Zinwa!
I'm working very far away. And besides I'm not even in the mood 2 go thru the whole 4 stage rigorous torture called an interview.
Have they reached alphabet 'O" yet??? Pls if your surname starts wit "O" and you have been invited, please let me know. Mine is "O" and am yet to get anything. Am pretty itching,and tensed up at te same time
This is nice... congrats people! Remember to relax, be urself and yes, enjoy d moment, @Akan A1. All d best to those called...
house pls for those of u dat have been contacted, was it by phone or via email cos am still hoping to hear from them. pls respond house
i also wrote on the 8th in abuja,but didnt get called too..
wow! d interview was very intense.... did mine a few days ago. i was so nervous initially but relaxed during d 3rd nd 4th stages.... they r friendly people.
They re indeed very friendly ppl... Had mine on 20th.. And yes they arrange it alphabetically... My surname starts wit O! For the 1st and 2nd stage, do not get carried away by d head nodding of one of the interviewer... I noticed he Jst keeps on nodding irrespective of wat u re saying... And for those slated for next week, maintain an open mind... They re really friendly
na wa oh! wen r they gonna finish nd start calling? they r still in O! lol
@Nk-chic, i think it climaxes next week.... Yea they were at letter O as at tuesday(morning and afternoon sessions).they get to interview between 8 and 10 ppl a day.... A group of of 4 or 5... Mine had 4.... So you can estimate how many ppl they re interviewing
@Ufuoma: Im just anxious to collect my appointment letter! lol...
See you at the top!
we will meet there.....Quote:

@lionleo- your in-between statement Jst made my heart skip... Does being interviewed last for the one on one mean anything? They really made me wait, and made me talk for long wit their numerous questions... And as concerns 2nd of august start date, how feasible is that? Considerin the fact that some have their interview date slated for 28th...thanks
@Ufuoma77- You've come a very long way mon ami & my 6th sense tells me you are going 2b a PWC staff b4 d year runs out
@Ufuoma: Y r u scared if you truly know the job is yours? Im only confident cos of God! Cos He alone knows hw I got to the interview stage ......it was suprising to me! and He would make me tesyify again!
@Lionleo: Id make sure to look for you wen I resume. lolololol.
@biggerboyze- thanks a million times...
@Nk- i am not afraid, i said my heart skipped... Like it missed a beat... LoL... And oh yea, we 'd meet at PwC... And i look forward to meeting lionleo
@NK-chi, looking forward to meeting u!
@ufuoma, no cause for alarm, ejo o! There is really no way to predict, except self-belief. Last or 1st in; smiles or frowns; or the length of ur interview doesn't really mean much. Short might mean they can't stand u or dat u it's obvious that u have everything they want. Long might be that they really enjoy d chat, or just looking for more points to base their assessment. Smiles can mean u sound silly or u r making sense and frown can mean u r talking rubbish or just an attempt to intimidate u. U just cant tell. But most times, people know if they are getting the job or not. Or maybe it's just me cos when I failed a KPMG intavu, I knew it even b4 d end of the intavu. But I patiently waited for PwC's call because within me, I was sure I had the job right after the intervu. So believe...and pray!
Per the resumption thingy, I think it can work. So far, I'm sure they've already selected to this point. So all they need to do after the last interview is update the list, prepare offer letters and make calls... none of that takes too long. When i got in, i did my intervu on a 4th while some were on till about 27th or 28th. The calls came 30th and we started on 5th- the 1st monday in d month. That's y I think 2nd... but we'll soon find out, won't we? All d best!
@Lionleo, Thanks for the contributions! From what they said, I think we might get the calls and report by 2nd week of August at the latest. Did mine on the 13th. I was interviewed first for the client-based interview but was the last for the one-on-one interview. Does that have any significance? ??? ???
This Life is rily a 4ny 1...now I had d same experience as Lionelo.....
lol....wen i was invited 4 PWC's interview...I knew I messed up a great deal....though I was trying 2 push ma Faith as far as it cld get mi.....I knew I wld not get called.....but, for KPMG....It was a swell ride all thru cuz 4rm d moment I passed the aptitude test.....I, there & then sensed Godz Favour all ova me.....& I'm in now.....
So, u c guyz....just blv in ur self & get ur mind off this 1 & focus on anoda....so as not to allow negative thotz.....aii....!!!
All d same...I wish u guyz Godz Favour.....
I also, recall stating that the 3rd & 4th stages of the interview is normally done interchangeably.....
C y'll on top.....& Takia....
Guys relax. I have worked with PwC for a year and went through the same thing.
Nearly everyone called for interview usually makes it (they do not call so many people).
They are massively recruiting especially for audit as they have so many audit clients.
As long as you showed yourself to be a team player, resourceful, able to think on your feet and can speak good English, u av nothing to worry about.
Being the first or the last in does not mean anything.
As per the resumption date, it is very feasible and if they change their minds, they will let u know with a lot of apologies.
See guys in PwC.
Lol... really looking forward to meeting yous... uUuoma, NK and d rest of d house! Shud be fun!
@uchebobby, like modupe, zinwa and i have said, d sequence does not matter. d interviewers split and conduct the last 2 stages concurrently and the order is totally random. so calm down and relax!
@modupe-oluwa, i luv ur story! always inspiring to hear that certain things can be done! I'm still grateful der was enough time in between KPMG and PwC to allow me address my lapses...
@zinwa, per this, i hope i don't make sm1's hrt skip 2 beats now but my set, it was actually 60/300, more or less. Thankfully, 20% will contain my naijahotjobbers and more...Quote:

@modupe-oluwa: wat an interesting story.... :)
