What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
The interview process is fairly similar to most grad schemes. There is an online application where you have to 'give a time...' followed by online tests. Get someone to check over your application, and make use of the free online psychometric tests to get you used to what to expect for the tests (they are fairly straightforward though).
Do you have any interview tips?
Be yourself - BDO like people being individuals. First round interview is just with one person (probably from the office you are applying to). These are your usual interview questions which again are 'give a time...'. Try have things ready that aren't in your application form. Also, know the firms values!
Once you have had your first round interview, if successful, you will be invited to an assessment centre. For my intake we had a group exercise (talk enough to get noticed but also don't take total charge - it is all about working as a team!!), an in tray exercise (which is just about organising your time), a presentation (in front of a manager), and then 2 partner interviews.
One thing to note is you will have a lunch with trainees at the firm. Remember to make a good impression here too...they will be asked what they think of you!
