    Hi - I think most of the Big 4 summer internship programmes seem to closing for applications this week. Any idea on when the interviews are going to be held for these? I presume they will happen fairly quickly, but hoping they are not all on the same days. Anyone heard anything yet if you sent in a completed application?

    PwC are interviewing next week. I think the dates are the 20th,21st and 22nd. Somewhere close to that.
    I think the latest interviews are around mid-March. So between next week and mid-March and all the interviews will have taking place. Best of luck with the application and the interviews!:)

    I think the most important is to highlight the skills they want, such as team works skill, organizing and planning, communication skills.Another important is your scores in college. If you have high grads in any area point out those subjects,especially in accounting,stats and fianance. My personal opinion is that good grades is vital to get an interview. hope it helps.

    Is there any body can give any tips for interview in EY and KPMG?

    Thanks zhan
    Can you go more detailed examples in each skill you've got? Your grades in college...My grades related to accounting (Financial Reporting n Management Accounting) are only around 60%. But I did some summer internships with very small offices in Dublin and had organize some volunteer events with my friends in UCD. To be honest, I'm really afraid of my grades? Do they must be over 70% or something likes that? Can I only apply with my high grades and ignore the other subjects?

    I got 1:1 overall in my first year , I am second year at the moment. My accounting was 80% maths was over 80%. I illustrated my teamwork skills and other skills using examples such as my voluntary work, my group projects ( point out your achievement), organized society events. Just highlight what did you contribute to any of those projects or events.
    Grades is important but I think if you can give out good examples to illustrate your abilities you still will be considered.

    These all just what my understanding and thoughts.

    All the big 4 summer internships are now closed. Applying for that in the last year may be too late but I still want to have more preparation. Thanks so much for your respond. Best of lucks with your interviews.:)
