Careers Students Five tips for a top interview - Ernst & Young - Australia

Five tips for a top interview

  • Be prepared
    Learn as much as you can about Ernst & Young, who we are, our services and our strategic direction. Make sure you can articulate how your strengths and career goals align with ours, and why you think you’ll succeed in our organisation.

  • Be energetic and enthusiastic
    We want you to be passionate and excited about the opportunity to work for Ernst & Young. We look for people who are driven, motivated to be the best they can be and eager to work in teams.

  • Be yourself
    Try to relax and remember that we’re interested in the real you. When preparing, it’s helpful to think about how you’d like to communicate certain points but avoid over-rehearsing, as it may come across as impersonal.

  • Be professional
    Take pride in your presentation. We will be looking for professionalism in how you dress, how you speak and what you tell us about yourself.

  • Be punctual
    Arrive at least five minutes early and if – for reasons out of your control – you’re running late, call your interviewer and explain why.
