I just posted a new video (yes, its been a while).... BUT, it's my #1 Piece of Advice for Exec Job Seekers: ruclips.net/video/Ug3HLGYNk8U/видео.htmlsi=nmNLV58XNTm9Mnjd
Hey, I watched this video 4-5x throughout my interview process and exactly applied your tips. I ended up getting an offer from deloitte! Thank you so much
1 it is hard to hire the right people 2 apply these roles is not the best job search strategy. Instead, build relationship with key people 3 in the interview, build positive relationship with the panel and Hire manager very quickly 4 send a thank you note immediately after the interview
Hi, great 100% accurate tips you’re giving. I had a job interview with KPMG France , in four parts , 2 with HR, 1 with a senior manager and 1 with a partner . The 2 last ones should have lasted 45 minutes max, instead they lasted 1h15 each . I got along with the high ranks . Next morning I got the job . Junior audit.
Hey, I'm currently in the process of finding an internship opportunity in one of the big 4 for Auditing, would it be possible for us to have a quick chat over linkedin? It would be really helpful :)
And this is why the world moves at snail pace, because of people like you in charge making decisions based upon superficiality rather than actually picking people who actually know what they're doing, have a passion for what they're doing and want to actually make innovations to change the world rather than jump the ladder.
adapt to the world you live instead of how it was supposed to be, we all agree with you but if you don't adapt you don't win. Want to make change, climb up and change that when you are at the company side mate. cheers!
I worked for deloitte, I'm now a senior person in another company and I am involved in hiring and firing. I can confirm what he said is spot on especially about the hidden job market (linkedin) and when decisions are made (pretty much right away even if the paperwork and admin is longer) oh and "fit" for the firm is a very nebulous concept.
Most hiring managers have the ability to read people well. I learned to be myself regardless of the levels of whom I speak with. I am ME and I do know how to be more.

Show your strong personality traits that makes others like you, currently. Dive deep into them during the interview and you will be liked for the same traits by those interviewers. Always have stories that are impactful, funny, and shows your character and personality. Do not be a yes person, show your critical thinking ability but also your humility.
Great video, This really gave me good insights in the hiring process from the company side. It's like knowing what questions will be on a test. Thanks, James! BTW the way you deliver info is really engaging, I think it's the pauses :) cheers
Just decided to come back to this video. I applied some of the things you talked about and recently accepted a tax consulting internship (accounting) with them. Thanks for the help!
There are many dimensions to acing an interview. Building rapport is great but other areas will be tested including technical competence, leadership effectiveness, management effectiveness and alignment between your expectations of the role and the role itself. Senior roles will test your business case - which must satisfy a business need. Few companies waste time interviewing with no intention of hiring, so an interview gives you a chance.
I was distracted by your great haircut the whole time but yes very interesting. I am interested in getting a job with the big 4 but I made the mistake of not networking effectively early on. There's still hope for me as I do have my masters degree to complete so there's time to go to more recruiting events.
Thank you for these insights, hopefully they’ll help me get a job with one of the big 4 firms after I graduate next year with a degree in accounting. Unfortunately I started networking late, as it’s the end of my 3rd year but hopefully I’ll be able to pick it up and grow my network and land a job!
@@jayzee2634 I haven’t heard of any summer conferences in Canada. Probably b/c I haven’t looked into them too much. But thank you! I’ll try to look into them when it gets closer to the summer
@@jayzee2634 thank you, I’ll write it down so I don’t forget! I’m going through recruitment season right now and my interview skills definitely need some polishing 😬
Any attempt to try to get on with the interviewer(s) gets shut down rapidly in my opinion. “Too familiar, unprofessional” in the feedback, or, “yes, well, let’s get back on topic please” shuts it down quickly.
outstanding stuff right here! My first job out from college, I had to let me my interviewer know I knew about his culture(getting along with interview as said here!) To be clear he was from India and so when he asked my general questions my answers where mostly of things or people from India and every time I answered he smiled and laughed so hard, we both laughed :) To say the least I got the job and got to meet him while working for that company .
all of these points directly contribute to cause behind poor hires lol if the way to get hired in delloite is: knowing the right people, being able to impress with soft-skills regardless of hard-skills, and vacuous thank you notes, then it makes sense why they struggle
@@petertenay1785 Hey! You need to ask the person on this channel regarding that. I never applied for a corporate consulting position. You're already doing the great first steps by networking. Keep up the great work!
I came across a job posting for one of the big 4 looking for a restaurant industry professional to join their consulting team. I’m more than qualified for the requirements of the job and definitely suited to travel professionally but I want to acknowledge that I know nothing about the business or corporate world. My entire working career has been in kitchens. My question is, what advice do you have for industry swappers who are walking into uncharted territory? A territory where I know neither the culture nor lingo. I’ve heard and read that I should do a lot of research on the company to impress my interviewers (haven’t heard back from my application yet so no actual interview scheduled). But with a company so big I don’t even know where to begin to research.
Its part of the etiquette and showing manners. Not sending one can be losing brownie points for some hiring people. People want to work with nice, polite people above everything.
How did you get to work in NYC? I've just been offered a graduate audit job at Deloitte in London and my dream has always been to work in the states, particularly New York!!🥺
I’m currently working as a relationship banker at J.P. Morgan Chase. Been in the banking and finance industry for 3 years. Do you think I have a good chance at getting a consulting job at Deloitte? Is experience more looked at?
You most definitely have a good chance! Not an expert but a lot of Big companies focus on transferable skills that'd useful. Experience in banking means you've probably some analytical skills for example and that would be useful
I love your advice. and I would love to know How do you get on very well with the interviewer during an interview? because once interviews begin, don't interviewers go straight to asking questions?
Hi James, I had a question. I got an email from my recuiter from Deloitte and it stated “I am working with my internal project teams to get a staffing assignment lined up for you in regards to an offer. Sometimes this process can take a week or so more to sort out.” What exactly does that mean?
I appreciate your insights but I don’t think it applies to all industries. If you’re looking for a position in tech, you need knowledge and experience rather than a great relationship with a recruiter/hiring person.
James, I had a interview with Deloitte they said I will be having an interview with a Deloitte Partner next, any tips you would advise to give? and why does it take them a long time to schedule a next interview? (been waiting a week) yours answers would help, thanks
I just recently applied to deloitte and beginning the process, but I can tell you with certainty from people I have spoken to that partners have a very busy schedule to work with, especially now with busy season everyone is all over the place
If you muster up the courage/audacity to apply for a position at deloitte and you haven't heard anything back, should you call them like every 3-4 days to check up on the status of your application? I am in college right now, and i have 2 more semesters left before getting my associates in accounting, but i do want to do some internship while im working towards my bachelor's and take the CPA exam... I have no idea how to get my foot inside... like I have no idea what comes after graduation. I just know i desperately need to secure an internship after getting my associates but i don't know what to expect. I don't know the accounting culture sort of speak...like what are the topics of conversations... things of that nature...if anyone would like to connect with me and give me teach me a few things about the culture i would be more than grateful
Experience , high GPA . Good communication. If u think school work is insane,. My dude had been at Big FOUR for a few yrs. The constnatn new work, new project (over lapping 5-6 major clients all the time at same time). Its extremely challenging, burn out. Ppl in the team like 2 of them have ADHD, often will get burnout fast. N some ppl who are anti social not good with clients cant work as team will burn out also a lot of Karen/Malignant Narcissist. When the REST just try hard want to do GOOD work improve life. So ppl need to be prepared to be able to accept a lot of challenges cuz auditor u work with clients, who are usually covering up crap. How to even deal with that. Is very challenging. D WORST issues getitng into BiG 3 too early, is that u lose a lot of opportunity to gain customer at person level. That its like stuns growth. Its like ud lose out the small ground work experiences. But get in yr head “i am in d BIG four, i am smarter n i made it “ My family at BIG FOUR hires interns…n he does the interview n gives recommendations. Lol. I kept being told the interns came in like working for 2 yrs, thought they earned their Sharing , like their work so easy needs to get promoted or moving to bigger roles. In fact those ppl working on 1 project, 1 thing, HAD NO concept or perception in all sorts diff environment. In fact they were given most juvie repeatative things to be done, they are not gonna give like senior level work that government contracts to be done by interns risking errors/protocols . So those interns get in their head”wow BIG four so easy” it’s like press a button. The most complicated things are like taking 10 yr at least experience to know the things are NOT right , how “unusual” that those things will just JUMP OUT at senior level ppl. GPA. Seriously. I heard the University/college new grad interview….some of them with Low GPA is very cringe. It shows . Because the work flow is so high ,,,high GPA at least shows --consistency, work ethics, integrity, choice making (oh, going party or going to study for that one weekend missing out the --connection) . Cuz like in those consuting firm…all about contracts with clients, things needs to be DONe ONE TIME> the HIGH performers still go out party, do stuff travel, but they have epic work play balance. The ppl have LOW GPA their fluctuation shows. N when they miss out something ….d BIG FOUR have to PAY huge Panelty to clients or even LEGALLy responsible. So yeah….a lot ppl like “good CV” , GOOD over all school mark, is critical from what I thought. Better to have prior work experience/ somewhere. Long ago… lol My good Lawyer friend. He got into the 1 of BIGGEST BIG LAW (1 of 3 largest) in CAnada. He went to London Cambridge for some random Philosophy…lmao i was like “lol. How did u like support yrself in ENGLAND? International studen, n UK Pound , n in LONDON. Thats $$$$$ HE TOLD me that he’s like secret genius Math guy that he went to play POKER, n supported his Education. Prob would made millions if he want to be poker player, n he bought his parents a CAR in school from POKER money, he read like prob 50 poker books all mathematics. Lol. His parents freaked ,,,thought he’s into something illegal lol. Yeah that MOVIE “21 n Me” soemthing like that in real life lol its insane. N he was gonna try to be some PHD professor . The MOST famous pylosophy guy came to school for a speech, everyone went to wash, n d dude died from heat attack like 3 days later. Made him realize whats the purpose to living n wanting to do something different. In my peak separation with my ex partner. My BIG law friend took his own time helping me thru my documents n taking to his lawyer freinds to seek guidance, n helping me for things i did NOT beg him for . N he told me he worked reall late just one night getitng thru all sorts of things to see wha try rights are n try to issue me a FREE Affidavit ( i did NOT even know why was Affidavit) to get government support to fight my legal battle (that i was alone n being taken advantage of). I started understand. How he got in his job. Thousands apply like they only hire like 3-4 ppl . He has something MORE intelligent/human grew from own experience than his drive to make money. Even tho he buys Burberry suit n drove Lotus. Later on he check in with me to see how i progressed n never like show off or try to like make me pay back or anything. He said “he did cuz the integrity of being DECENT Human-being” that he did about $3000 worth of work for me for free . I didnt ask. N i was trying it introduce my good looking gf to ask if his cowoekers were single . He told me some of them were pigs using women . They were TALL hot suitors high up at Financial District . 51th floor. They rotate ppl. I wss shocked that he was apart from other high earning suitors(aiming for partner) , that he had such high level of decency even tho at work he’s stern. Yeah GPA, track record, Social, but being Genuine. I watched my family interview intern (during covid) remotely. Some of them just TAlk the talk , some are So eloquent. The high EQ one, is utter impressive, while i was spotting a Narcissist young face is utter sweet good looking talker to be smooth, was so creepy. I literally saw a Psychology major of U of T, trying to like apply for BIG FOUR IT like:”one year i took 1 course working in 1 project…i had to learnt to build the system “ those ppl all they care is NOT work , but they want the BIG FOUR. Some interns get in the “BIG FOUR” could be curse. Cuz my family sitting there as senior position, there were like 3 interns like mocking him texting at work thru company network “ ewrr, that guy why is he still here i bet he is not even working , i will never be sitting there (my family just transitioned from new office didnt have time to get ASsigned desk). “ n they were like TAKING PIC of him sitting there hustling working on Major bank for some head office high level stuff. N joking thru email n accidentally sent it to HIM or included him in it since the group msg. HE like reported to HR> n the dude was IMMEDIATELY escorted OUT OF BUILDING fired. Yeah if u get into BIG four as INTERM. U will for sure meet some arrogant losers, its inivitable, they will drag u down . Those 2 almost lost their own internship they worked for 4 yrs for because MIRRORING that 1 douch bag white kid thought he’s so HOT. N u wil meet some back stabling losers , n yet gain some spine stilling working alongside of others who just doing life trying to make it.
@@mikemastoros1219 u prob learn a lot more in small set up company , than going to big FOUR as intern because it can be exposed for all sorts things, at BIG four company so huge, they let interns do most small work repeatative thing. N so when u actually want to apply a NEW job post grad, the NEW COMPANY will. Have HIGH expectation for yr delivery, n its MORE stressful and can actually portentially make it “worse” if they expect u from BIG FOUR like expert. But over all working as BIG four is great cuz will for sure solid career starting point.
@FRESH Life Hacks hi, thank you for replying... you say your family hires or recommend interns to firms? Do you think I can get a recommendation? Ever since I started, I've made sure to keep my GPA at a 3.0 or above...and I am very determined
@Mike Mastoros thanks for replying. When you say I need a good CV... do you mean I need to have prior account work experience in order to get an internship at Deloitte or any of the other big fours?
Hello James, can one reapply after a rescinded offer to Deloitte same country or possibly different country? My offer was rescinded literally for no reason, I’m devastated 😢
Hi James, I am done with the first technical interview at Deloitte. This senior analyst role only has 2 of interview, and the next one is a Behavioral Interview. If I cleared the first round, does that mean I am almost hired since I cleared the technical round with the project manager? Please let me know. TIA
Hi James great video. Im applying for a degree apprenticeship in deloitte for Consulting after first year in uni went to shambles because of covid and not really enjoyed living outside of London where i grew up my whole 19 year life. im not good at maths and critical analytic thinking and im more of a people's person instead of problem solving. would that hinder my application process? btw im really enjoying the videos
Wow this sounds like it's what all dyslexics need to learn I mean all people in general but especially dyslexics that get driven insane by paperwork in the first place yet still have other skills and are very sociable even good with computers
Or Aspbergers. Most ppl have dyslexic traits have Aspbergers , Extreme high IQ, but low connection n often take things TOO seriously, n take ppls joke as insult, n also have hard time get pass stress etc. so those ppl can often feel very over whelmed in d Big Four. Cuz alwyas Moving parts, day to day job is never the same.
Can you please tell me if there any age limit for applying in Deloitte or any one of the big 4 firm,, m doing ACCA my skills module is about to complete,,, please tell me when should I start preparing for the interviews when should I apply,,,,,,I,,ll be 24 yrs by September 22

My Dad was a hiring manager at ON-TV years ago. He had to decide between hiring a college graduate and one with only a high school degree. Interestingly enough he hired the one with the High School degree who one day became his son in law. But why? What was his motivation? My Dad asked each one of them at the beggining of their interview for the time? The College Graduate didn't have a watch. But the High Shool graduate had a watch. My Dad used to serve in the Navy where it is imparative one had to know what time to report. All those sailors knew what time it is. And had a wrist watch at all times. How would you set your watches to the time clock if you don't wear a time piece? And is why I arrived early for the interviewer's time, while the other applicant came late. I was hired on the spot.
Why ? People don't deviate from natural habits. Hiring mangers don't have time to watch every applicant for a 2 week period to determine if they are a good hire. What us hiring mangers look at is the small details like this.
Small details that are biased? You can literally walk down the street and see thousands of people with watches, the same amount of presumed resumes you receive, yet - you are paid to look at these people. Anyhow - I just think it is lazy of you to hire someone based on a material thing rather for their skills and who they actually are.
Thats cool story, its kinda like 1 narritive tho . Imagine a HOT guy who show kindness to a homesesless. Suddently the girl falls in love. What if the guy turns out to be ONLY wearing watch 1 day to look good for interview? (Men often wear watch for Busienss job back then ) When d other guy from college, did NOT pretend, so he did NOT wear watch but has a cell phone(ppl been using cellphone in the late 90s in college). N what if the guy is fake n cheats. Has bad track records, steals client/business money. The due diligence n vetting is more important than”hiring on the spot”.
@@engee3280o true. My family work at D BIG FOUR….u know what. SOME WELL SPOKEN person who cost company lke $300000 lose recently got FIRED a few weeks ago. He is well spoken n very genuine on the face, n does NOT give “f “ about team, or work, or clients. He would literally take the THUNDER, “let me do this”. Then disappear . N clients get mad, coworkers n team would gotten blamed on d BRAND/company as incompetent . In Canada/US, the Big FOUR has to fallow strict Firing process gather evidence, n giving “ chances” takes long time to fire someone, once they “hired on the spot”.

Have a good CV with a good Cover letter and you will get a chance
Experience , high GPA . Good communication. If u think school work is insane,. My dude had been at Big FOUR for a few yrs. The constnatn new work, new project (over lapping 5-6 major clients all the time at same time). Its extremely challenging, burn out. Ppl in the team like 2 of them have ADHD, often will get burnout fast. N some ppl who are anti social not good with clients cant work as team will burn out also a lot of Karen/Malignant Narcissist. When the REST just try hard want to do GOOD work improve life. So ppl need to be prepared to be able to accept a lot of challenges cuz auditor u work with clients, who are usually covering up crap. How to even deal with that. Is very challenging.
D WORST issues getitng into BiG 3 too early, is that u lose a lot of opportunity to gain customer at person level. That its like stuns growth. Its like ud lose out the small ground work experiences. But get in yr head “i am in d BIG four, i am smarter n i made it “
My family at BIG FOUR hires interns…n he does the interview n gives recommendations. Lol. I kept being told the interns came in like working for 2 yrs, thought they earned their Sharing , like their work so easy needs to get promoted or moving to bigger roles. In fact those ppl working on 1 project, 1 thing, HAD NO concept or perception in all sorts diff environment. In fact they were given most juvie repeatative things to be done, they are not gonna give like senior level work that government contracts to be done by interns risking errors/protocols . So those interns get in their head”wow BIG four so easy” it’s like press a button. The most complicated things are like taking 10 yr at least experience to know the things are NOT right , how “unusual” that those things will just JUMP OUT at senior level ppl.
GPA. Seriously. I heard the University/college new grad interview….some of them with Low GPA is very cringe. It shows . Because the work flow is so high ,,,high GPA at least shows --consistency, work ethics, integrity, choice making (oh, going party or going to study for that one weekend missing out the --connection) .
Cuz like in those consuting firm…all about contracts with clients, things needs to be DONe ONE TIME> the HIGH performers still go out party, do stuff travel, but they have epic work play balance. The ppl have LOW GPA their fluctuation shows. N when they miss out something ….d BIG FOUR have to PAY huge Panelty to clients or even LEGALLy responsible.
So yeah….a lot ppl like “good CV” , GOOD over all school mark, is critical from what I thought.
Better to have prior work experience/ somewhere.
Long ago… lol My good Lawyer friend. He got into the 1 of BIGGEST BIG LAW (1 of 3 largest) in CAnada. He went to London Cambridge for some random Philosophy…lmao i was like “lol. How did u like support yrself in ENGLAND? International studen, n UK Pound , n in LONDON. Thats $$$$$ HE TOLD me that he’s like secret genius Math guy that he went to play POKER, n supported his Education. Prob would made millions if he want to be poker player, n he bought his parents a CAR in school from POKER money, he read like prob 50 poker books all mathematics. Lol. His parents freaked ,,,thought he’s into something illegal lol.
Yeah that MOVIE “21 n Me” soemthing like that in real life lol its insane.
N he was gonna try to be some PHD professor . The MOST famous pylosophy guy came to school for a speech, everyone went to wash, n d dude died from heat attack like 3 days later. Made him realize whats the purpose to living n wanting to do something different.
In my peak separation with my ex partner. My BIG law friend took his own time helping me thru my documents n taking to his lawyer freinds to seek guidance, n helping me for things i did NOT beg him for . N he told me he worked reall late just one night getitng thru all sorts of things to see wha try rights are n try to issue me a FREE Affidavit ( i did NOT even know why was Affidavit) to get government support to fight my legal battle (that i was alone n being taken advantage of).
I started understand. How he got in his job. Thousands apply like they only hire like 3-4 ppl . He has something MORE intelligent/human grew from own experience than his drive to make money. Even tho he buys Burberry suit n drove Lotus.
Later on he check in with me to see how i progressed n never like show off or try to like make me pay back or anything. He said “he did cuz the integrity of being DECENT Human-being” that he did about $3000 worth of work for me for free . I didnt ask.
N i was trying it introduce my good looking gf to ask if his cowoekers were single . He told me some of them were pigs using women . They were TALL hot suitors high up at Financial District . 51th floor. They rotate ppl. I wss shocked that he was apart from other high earning suitors(aiming for partner) , that he had such high level of decency even tho at work he’s stern.
Yeah GPA, track record, Social, but being Genuine. I watched my family interview intern (during covid) remotely. Some of them just TAlk the talk , some are So eloquent. The high EQ one, is utter impressive, while i was spotting a Narcissist young face is utter sweet good looking talker to be smooth, was so creepy. I literally saw a Psychology major of U of T, trying to like apply for BIG FOUR IT like:”one year i took 1 course working in 1 project…i had to learnt to build the system “ those ppl all they care is NOT work , but they want the BIG FOUR.
Some interns get in the “BIG FOUR” could be curse. Cuz my family sitting there as senior position, there were like 3 interns like mocking him texting at work thru company network “ ewrr, that guy why is he still here i bet he is not even working , i will never be sitting there (my family just transitioned from new office didnt have time to get ASsigned desk). “ n they were like TAKING PIC of him sitting there hustling working on Major bank for some head office high level stuff. N joking thru email n accidentally sent it to HIM or included him in it since the group msg. HE like reported to HR> n the dude was IMMEDIATELY escorted OUT OF BUILDING fired. Yeah if u get into BIG four as INTERM. U will for sure meet some arrogant losers, its inivitable, they will drag u down . Those 2 almost lost their own internship they worked for 4 yrs for because MIRRORING that 1 douch bag white kid thought he’s so HOT. N u wil meet some back stabling losers , n yet gain some spine stilling working alongside of others who just doing life trying to make it.
@@mikemastoros1219 u prob learn a lot more in small set up company , than going to big FOUR as intern because it can be exposed for all sorts things, at BIG four company so huge, they let interns do most small work repeatative thing. N so when u actually want to apply a NEW job post grad, the NEW COMPANY will. Have HIGH expectation for yr delivery, n its MORE stressful and can actually portentially make it “worse” if they expect u from BIG FOUR like expert. But over all working as BIG four is great cuz will for sure solid career starting point.
@FRESH Life Hacks hi, thank you for replying... you say your family hires or recommend interns to firms? Do you think I can get a recommendation? Ever since I started, I've made sure to keep my GPA at a 3.0 or above...and I am very determined
@Mike Mastoros thanks for replying. When you say I need a good CV... do you mean I need to have prior account work experience in order to get an internship at Deloitte or any of the other big fours?
Hello James, can one reapply after a rescinded offer to Deloitte same country or possibly different country?
My offer was rescinded literally for no reason, I’m devastated 😢
Hi James, I am done with the first technical interview at Deloitte. This senior analyst role only has 2 of interview, and the next one is a Behavioral Interview. If I cleared the first round, does that mean I am almost hired since I cleared the technical round with the project manager? Please let me know. TIA
Informative video. I got the Deloitte offer letter
Fed up with this fake world and all fake around
Hi James great video. Im applying for a degree apprenticeship in deloitte for Consulting after first year in uni went to shambles because of covid and not really enjoyed living outside of London where i grew up my whole 19 year life. im not good at maths and critical analytic thinking and im more of a people's person instead of problem solving. would that hinder my application process? btw im really enjoying the videos
Hi, did you manage to get the apprenticeship ?
deloitte is not the largest consulting firm by numbers or rev
great video but put on 1,5x lol
Wow this sounds like it's what all dyslexics need to learn I mean all people in general but especially dyslexics that get driven insane by paperwork in the first place yet still have other skills and are very sociable even good with computers
Or Aspbergers. Most ppl have dyslexic traits have Aspbergers , Extreme high IQ, but low connection n often take things TOO seriously, n take ppls joke as insult, n also have hard time get pass stress etc. so those ppl can often feel very over whelmed in d Big Four. Cuz alwyas Moving parts, day to day job is never the same.
Do you have any good Book recommendations
About to be interviewed by Deloitte in 20 minutes ha haaa. Cheers.
Great video, It is very usefull
Can you please tell me if there any age limit for applying in Deloitte or any one of the big 4 firm,, m doing ACCA my skills module is about to complete,,, please tell me when should I start preparing for the interviews when should I apply,,,,,,I,,ll be 24 yrs by September 22

thank you
great intro
Where are you from?
I am from the sunny UK, but mostly live in NYC these days -- any reason you ask my good man?
@@James.h.whittaker well !
Bro I'm listening to British accent so I found that you sound British..
Therefore, I asked it from you.
Thank you so much for responding
Could you please recommend me more youtubers with British accent?
@@parveshsharma3222 I have no idea I'm afraid! I haven't seen many others
@@James.h.whittaker could you please tell what accent do you speak with?
Absolutely disagree with I need to impress the employer comment ....
Hiring Director? You look like you're 26.
...
...RIght?
I passed online test of dellotie
But didn't receive mail 🙄
My Dad was a hiring manager at ON-TV years ago.
He had to decide between hiring a college graduate and one with only a high school degree. Interestingly enough he hired the one with the High School degree who one day became his son in law.
But why? What was his motivation?
My Dad asked each one of them at the beggining of their interview for the time? The College Graduate didn't have a watch.
But the High Shool graduate had a watch. My Dad used to serve in the Navy where it is imparative one had to know what time to report. All those sailors knew what time it is. And had a wrist watch at all times.
How would you set your watches to the time clock if you don't wear a time piece? And is why I arrived early for the interviewer's time, while the other applicant came late. I was hired on the spot.
That is such a concerning reason to hire someone.
Why ? People don't deviate from natural habits. Hiring mangers don't have time to watch every applicant for a 2 week period to determine if they are a good hire. What us hiring mangers look at is the small details like this.
Small details that are biased? You can literally walk down the street and see thousands of people with watches, the same amount of presumed resumes you receive, yet - you are paid to look at these people. Anyhow - I just think it is lazy of you to hire someone based on a material thing rather for their skills and who they actually are.
Thats cool story, its kinda like 1 narritive tho . Imagine a HOT guy who show kindness to a homesesless. Suddently the girl falls in love. What if the guy turns out to be ONLY wearing watch 1 day to look good for interview? (Men often wear watch for Busienss job back then ) When d other guy from college, did NOT pretend, so he did NOT wear watch but has a cell phone(ppl been using cellphone in the late 90s in college).
N what if the guy is fake n cheats. Has bad track records, steals client/business money. The due diligence n vetting is more important than”hiring on the spot”.
@@engee3280o true. My family work at D BIG FOUR….u know what. SOME WELL SPOKEN person who cost company lke $300000 lose recently got FIRED a few weeks ago. He is well spoken n very genuine on the face, n does NOT give “f “ about team, or work, or clients. He would literally take the THUNDER, “let me do this”. Then disappear . N clients get mad, coworkers n team would gotten blamed on d BRAND/company as incompetent .
In Canada/US, the Big FOUR has to fallow strict Firing process gather evidence, n giving “ chances” takes long time to fire someone, once they “hired on the spot”.
your haircut is worth a billion
Thank you so much for this video!
awful company, terrible place
Interesting. Why's that if I may ask?
@@nnodumodinaka7502 what du mean? no1 i dont like you okay. No 2 when i was at deloitte was I physcially punched in the chest by a Partner one evening - I should have sued. No 3 I was also called a dirty dog by a partner. thats an abusive company full of abusers and the graduates better start taking partners to court than putting us with abusive shit. I would never want my kids working at the bog 4. quite rascists places too, once i was at deloitte and they were passing rascist jokes about a black babys hair around on whatsapp. thyey are sick people
@@nnodumodinaka7502 it was a very abusive place when i worked there, really something should have been done about it but nothing was ever done about it.
you're a liar you didn't work there lol.
