The group interview was a case study which required the team of applicants to discuss/prioritise a number of clients in consideration of BDO values and business objectives. The individual interview included a variety of questions which allowed the interviewers to learn more about you as an individual and your interests and motivations to work for BDO as a company and the specific team you are applying for.

Graduate, Melbourne
People want to work with people they think they would enjoy working with. You can't just be a human computer, you need to have some personality
Graduate, Melbourne
Come with a clear mind and strong self determination. Knowing what you want and knowing how the business will help with those goals will make answering any questions easier and more convincing
Graduate, Melbourne
My advice for candidates is to do research on a company and it's values prior to applying or attending an interview to assess whether these values are what you resonate with as an individual. This not only allows you to establish if it is the right fit for you but also makes it easier to feel comfortable with answering behavioural questions as you can easily and confidently incorporate these values into your answers.
Graduate, Sydney
Know your personal strengths and try to best showcase them when involved in interviews and other formal discussions.
Graduate, Sydney
