Interview Advice:

Look at the company's core values (typically found on their website) and consider scenarios where each has applied to you or you have applied them. Also, make sure you have a good understanding of what they mean.

In my experience, interviewers like to ask questions around these core values to gauge not only how much research you have done for the job, but also how suited you are to the work environment.

Application Advice:

Don't be hesitant if you don't have much prior knowledge of accountancy or don't enjoy mathematics. I have learned everything I know from working within the company and through their training; I had not studied a related subject at sixth form or university. You need to have a fundamental understanding of mathematics but to be a good accountant you must be analytical and also be able to communicate effectively with your team and with clients. If you possess these assets then definitely highlight them and use clear examples of them when you apply.

Interview Advice:

Menzies values having a range of different personality types in order to create a diverse working environment where different people bring a wide range of skills to the table. Be yourself in the interview and be sure to ask questions about the company. It does not matter if you do not have any prior accountancy knowledge; show that you are interested, analytical, and work well within a team. Definitely use examples to reflect these skills and do some research on the company values and tie your experiences back to those values as well.

Application Advice:

It has changed a bit since I did it. Like with most service companies Menzies want hard working individuals. It is important for you to demonstrate skills through your life experience. If you are looking to apply make sure you are thinking ahead and putting yourself in positions of responsibility and learning from your actions.

Interview Advice:

Research the company to get by, it shows interest.

Have in mind a few questions to cover.

Most importantly hit the competencies. If you can demonstrate that you already are a leader or a team player through your previous experiences, and are able to talk about them clearly in detail then you give a great impression and usually will go far in the interview stages.

Finally smile. An interview is about standing out so be the version of you that you want to be. Don't sit there and expect any qualification or previous experience to put you ahead of anyone else.

Be yourself. Unlike other accounting companies, Menzies put a lot more focus on who you are as a person and less on your qualifications and experience (although this is definitely a factor too!). Be prepared for a fairly relaxed but involved assessment day. They may ask some random questions like what would your super power be or what would you do if you had 24 hours to live, don't panic, just have fun with it.

Application Advice:

Try to come across as interesting and maybe a little different, be honest on your application and don't just write (or say) generic attributes that you think the company want to hear. Give examples of times you demonstrated any attribute you do mention.

Tell the interviewer/ reader of your CV what really interests you about / how you became interested in the accountancy profession and the role you are applying for.

Application Advice:

The application form was not as overwhelming as an application form for other accountancy firms I applied to. The one bit of advice I would give is to breakdown the application form into small chucks just to ensure you are fully concentrated on the application form and do not miss anything out or miss read a question.

Interview Advice:

Just be yourself and try not to over prepare for the interview and to try and avoid answering the question like a robot or sounds like something you have prepared previously and have memorised.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if they appear to be 'silly'. Asking questions is the best way to learn and it will give you a much better experience than keeping quiet and pretending like you know what you're doing.

Interview Advice:

Be honest. Don't lie during an interview, you'll only be caught out. Be positive, don't say that you are bad at something express it in a positive way, for example you could say "I'd like to improve this about myself" instead of saying "I'm not very good at this".

Application Advice:

Have a basic understanding of accounting, for example double entry theory.

Interview Advice:

The worst thing to be is nervous, you will not give the best account of yourself. An interview and assessment day process works both ways, it is difficult to have that feeling when they don't come around often as a graduate but it is a good chance to find out what actually is involved in the day to day of the job and if you can see yourself fitting in.

You don't have to come across as it has been your life long ambition to do accounting as for the vast majority this is not the case and it will probably be the case for the interviewer, but you need to have a clear explanation as you why you want the position and what it is about the company you like and not come across as if this is just one of many speculative applications you have made.

Make sure you have experience in dealing with people - this helps with client interaction. Even if your 'dealing with people' example is chatting to your grandma's friends, as long as you can show you can communicate efficiently with strangers then this role is fully open to you.

Interview Advice:

Be sure to know your C.V. inside and out! Don't rely on bringing your C.V to the interview for reference as it won't show quick thinking and reliability. Employers want an answer sooner rather than later and reading through your C.V. infront of them won't help your cause. Questions included, what are my strengths and weaknesses? What motivates me? Give an example in which you have shown leadership? Give an example of when you have had to deal with a tricky client/customer and how did you go about solving their issue?

Be prepared for hard work, college can be tough at times and definitely requires commitment for evening & weekend work, but is definitely worth it, even if you don't want to be an "Accountant". Your options at the end of the training contract will be extremely varied.

Interview Advice:

Make sure you research the ACA (or other applicable) qualification, and look into what an audit entails, and what accounts preparation is.

Accounts Trainee, Woking at Menzies LLP

Application Advice:

I think the main piece of advice I could give is to be extremely patient, firstly as it can take a lot of time for firms to get back to you and secondly you may get a few rejections before you finally get an acceptance from a firm, and the key is not to give up.

Interview Advice:

Be yourself, ie. to a large extent don't try and just say what you think the interviewer wants to hear, say your honest opinions and thoughts, and generally you will come across a lot more interesting (and impressive). Secondly, following on from my first point try not to be too nervous, try and treat it as just a friendly (formal) conversation with an acquaintence who is just trying to find out a little more about you.

The past few years have forced innovation and change to working hours, places of work and attitudes to work. In my opinion, the way people work has changed entirely with a shift towards mobility and being able to work from any location however, this is not the opinion held by all and using this flexible working compared to the classic 9-5 working day is looked down upon by some.

Worst:

There are a lot of new systems to learn when you first join which can be a little overwhelming. This is mitigated somewhat by the induction week but at the start it can feel like your are trying to keep a lot of plates spinning without actually knowing how to spin these plates in the first place.

They have been voted the top accounting firm in the UK this year and they are growing and changing rapidly to get ahead in the market. The people are brilliant and have such a wide breath of knowledge and skill.

Pay and benefits are still not great despite recent changes, especially for trainees. The top level of staff (i.e. partners) tend to be a little out of touch and don't always interact well with lower levels of staff (not all, but quite a few).
