Prepare to talk about yourself and discuss specific experiences that help demonstrate relevant skills.

Your first interview could take place over the telephone or at your university. If successful, we’ll interview you again at one of our offices. We may also ask you to complete a written assessment, either online or at a testing center. The exact structure and content will depend on the program to which you apply, as different roles need different skills. We’ll keep in touch and let you know how things progress.

If you are successful throughout the interview and selection process, we’ll make you a formal offer in writing. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions and, if you’re happy with the offer, we’ll look forward to receiving confirmation and to welcoming you on board.
Prepare to join
You’ll find a large community of people at Ernst & Young ready to welcome you. In the months before you take up your position, there’ll be opportunities to participate in campus networking events and possibly to meet your peers and new colleagues.
