Application Process & Interviews at Deloitte AU

I believe there were 3 online assessments when I applied, however, I progressed through the Development Day Program which was a 2 day intensive program, through to the Vacation Program for 6-8 weeks and 2 final interviews for a position as a Graduate.

The interviewers were really good at making sure I was able to relax and show who I really was in the interview, instead of being a nervous wreck

Long process: online application, phone interview, group interview with one-on-one manager interview, partner interview.

I did a placement with Monash University so I did not go through the formal interview process and assessment centres. For my internship I interviewed with an HR representative and then I had conversations with a partner about continuing as a casual over the Summer. I then got the call for my offer in the following April (2017), ahead of starting in March 2018.

Online Test Assessment Centre - group work Director/ manager interview Partner interview

First round psychological assessment, then group interview, then Manager interview, then Partner interview

Offer after internship

Long, but appropriate

Online assessment, phone interview, assessment centre, partner interview.

all elements of the interview process and assessments were fun

Unlike other graduate interviews/assessment centres I had in looking to secure a grad job, I felt that the interview process made me feel comfortable and confident to do my best without making us complete childish activities.

Good online test Interesting/Engaging assessment center Great interview with partner/case study

I had an online application, an online test (gamified), a phone interview, the assessment centre, a case study (with presentation and interview follow up) and a partner interview.

Application online follow by computer assessment phone interview with HR to get to know you better and if the role is suitable A/C with individual and group work then 1 on 1 with a director from the department final interview with 2 directors

The interview process and assessments were expected. The difficulty was also expected given the competitive nature of consulting.

1. Online test 2. Assessment centre and director interview 3. Partner interview

They were challenging and a little competitive, but the most of the other candidates were easy to work with.

Complex, interesting, problem solving. A number of rounds (Assessment Centre, Partner interviews, case studies, phone interviews, online tests etc.)

Very streamlined, and there were enough stages in the recruitment process to show both strengths and weaknesses.

First CV and Cover letter application Phone Interview Assessment centre (test teamwork, how to tackle problems etc.) Case Study (how can you deal with a problem by yourself) Partner interview (Are you a right fit for the firm/ team)

Basic algorithms and software knowledge questions, and questions about my goals and what I wanted from work.

questions about the current tax system behavourial questions scenario questions work experience questions

Strongly related to what I studied in university

Background, passions/ areas of interest, prior experience of my internship

In my final interview, a manager would ask me technical questions while the director asked me more general questions.

What i wanted in my job

How many tire valves are there in China? Why Deloitte? Why S&O etc.

Teamwork, responsibility, problem solving based

How have you solved conflict, have you heard of any recent cases relating to work Deloitte has been engaged in that relate to the area of work you are applying for, tell me something that is not on your CV.

What questions? There weren't any, we did case studies. There may have been one question like "why do you want to work here?" "What do you want to get out of it"

What do I like about technology. Why consulting. What is my background Strength/Weaknesses What is a group situation you overcame. The usual stuff.

For my internship I interviewed with an HR representative and we chatted pretty casually from what I remember. She just asked where I was from, about my job experience in retail, and 1 example of when I made a mistake and how I corrected it.

What are some challenges you faced and how you deal with them? Who are you? Tell me about a time were you worked in a team?

Questions about my technical abilities, and questions about my personality and how I would handle situation examples. The interviews were much more like conversations, rather than question and answer.

I was asked questions about my experiences and about my personal hobbies and what I would want to be part of the Business unit and firm.

What type of person are you? What do you value? What are your interests? Example of overcoming a conflict

Tell me something about yourself not on your resume?

Why I wanted to work with this company and in this field. I was asked to provide examples of when I had shown leadership, dealt with pressure, failed and how I coped with it - behavioural questions.

What are your strengths? How do you take feedback? Explain a time when you showed leadership. How do you work in teams?

Mostly about my interests A bit about my choice of Deloitte

Be prepared to work with people, the assessment center is very heavy on teamwork.

Talk about what you are passionate about. Do some industry research so you are prepared to discuss an emerging technology, or something else interesting.

It would be nice to read about the company and more importantly about the business unit to demonstrate passion for the role that they are applying to.

Put in the time and the effort into original applications as they are very black and white - when you get to the stage of a phone call or a face-to-face interview, it is much easier to prove yourself.

Be honest about yourself. Let the interview know what support you need from work and what you can offer.

Know about the company's values and have a good answer prepared for why you want to work there. Need something to make you stand out and they are really looking for good communication skills.

Think about what area you want to be a part of and tailor your application for that area. There's lots of different areas and the descriptions online can be confusing. I think the best way to get a feel for the company and work out what area you want to be a part of is to speak to people about what the different areas involve and how they find working at Deloitte. A summer vacationer position is great to get a feel for the company culture without having to commit to a graduate position.

Choose something your interested in and be yourself in the interview.

Do you research about recent engagements Deloitte has engaged.

Practise answering interview questions so that in the interview they come out really clearly and naturally. Make sure you can hold a conversation, most of the interview is just chatting, and this is your opportunity to show that you have good communication skills and allows the interviewer to see who you really are

Have relevant experience and really show why you want to be here

Have locked down why you want to work for Deloitte, why you applied to the business unit you are applying, what skills and experiences you bring to be a candidate of choice.

Have a lot of practice by thinking about your answers to the standard interview questions, that can be found online. Practice your answers in front of a mirror and finally in front of people. Get a few people (for example friends/ family) to interview you.

Extracurricular activities and social engagement examples are essential

Be yourself, show your passions and don't be afraid to ask questions and speak your mind.

Know what you are applying for. Don't go in there with no idea what you want from Deloitte and the role.

be a team player, willing to work with others and do your research on the company

Know EXACTLY what Deloitte does specific to the department you are applying for. Prepare the basic questions such as strengths and weaknesses but most importantly just be normal. Don't have set scripted answers, be fluid, have a NORMAL conversation with them. All 3 interviews the people were nice, down to earth and just wanted to have a chat about why you wanted to be at Deloitte.

Do you research as it will give you a better understanding of what They expect of you. First impressions matter but also show them who you are as that will help them to better understand you. A lot of reading is always helpful but also practising in the mirror your speaking is not a bad idea.

Always tailor your cover letter to the firm your applying for, at least 1 paragraph of your cover letter should be used to talk about their values and culture and how you can align to that.
