Could you tell us about yourself and your academic and professional background?

I am in my final year of an accounting and finance degree, graduating this summer. I chose that course because I wanted a quantitative grounding alongside a proper understanding of how businesses actually work, rather than one without the other. The modules I have enjoyed most are financial reporting and auditing, and my best piece of coursework was an analysis of a listed company's revenue recognition policy, where the interesting part was that two defensible readings of the same standard gave materially different numbers.

Alongside my studies I worked about twelve hours a week in a supermarket for two years, mostly on the customer service desk, which taught me to plan around deadlines and to stay calm with people who are frustrated. My most relevant experience was six weeks at a small accountancy practice last summer, where I did bank reconciliations, prepared working papers and sat in on client calls.

Two things came out of that. I found I enjoy work with a clear standard of correctness, where an answer has to be supportable rather than merely plausible. I also found I prefer being client-facing to sitting alone with a spreadsheet. That combination is what draws me to a graduate programme in professional services, and specifically to audit, where I would work across a range of clients while studying towards a professional qualification.

How to practise for Deloitte assessment centres

Questions candidates ask

What kind of questions come up in the Deloitte interview?

Our Deloitte pack includes questions such as 'Could you tell us about yourself and your academic and professional background?' and 'How would you handle a situation where a client has demanding expectations?' The recurring themes are motivation, team conflict, working styles, client expectations and proudest achievement.

How should I structure my answers for a behavioural interview?

Use a short sequence of situation, what you did and the result, with the emphasis on your own actions. Open with a direct answer, keep the middle specific, and close with what you learned. Practise aloud so each example lands in under two minutes.

Which Deloitte pack should I start with?

There is one pack, 'Interview – Motivation, Competency & Role Fit', for the Australia assessment centre stage. Start there, as it covers the motivation and behavioural questions you describe. If your invitation names a different market, choose the pack that matches it.
