Mazars - Graduate Scheme. Does anyone have any experience?

Hi Zaza, I want to apply to Mazars UAE office? Do i apply on their website using the Spontaneous Application Form or are there other ways? Seing the u posted your msg almost a year ago.. did you take up the offer? Would really be thankful if you guided me through the app stage.

I'm looking at submitting my Mazars application this week. Congrats on the job offer!

hi fmsaid i don't know about applying to other offices. i think for the UK it's under one thing but abroad it's a bit different. i'd call up the HR department of the UEA offices to ask specifically.

Any ideas of the starting salary for audit at Mazars?

Hi Zazza,

Well done on your offer..

Did you get asked anything on your commerical awareness during the interview?

Can you remember what competencies were asked?

Cheers

Hey graduatej,

Did you have your interview with Mazars? How did it go? Do you remember any of the competencies you are asked about? How did you find the analytical exercise? Any commercial awareness questions?

I'll have my interview this week and I cannot find much info here on wiki.

Any help will be really useful

Thanks.

Hey guys,

First of all thanks for providing info on the Mazars Application process, I recently received an offer from them to start in September 2010 for the Audit training scheme.

Now I know that Mazars does not sponsor work permits, and being an international student, I am currently on what is known as the Tier 1 PSW (post study work) which entitles me to work and stay in the UK till January 2012. I was wondering whether Mazars would assist me in extending my visa after this date or will I have to do it myself. If anyone has had experience of this before please advice me accordingly.

Additionally if you want any information regarding the application process at Mazars I would be happy to help.

Thanks!

Hi arsal888,

Congrats on recieving an offer!

I'm not too sure about your question sorry, but I was wondering if you could help me.

I have my assessment day coming up soon for audit and was hoping you could share your experience?

I wanted to know more about the partner interview - what sort of q's are there? compentency based? Is there much on commercial awareness?

Thank you in advance

Firstly goodstuff on getting to the recruitment day, i believe the first round with the analytical exercise is actually harder than the recruitment day.

So abt the partner interview, you are not required to noe that much commercial awareness but some will always be useful. Firm knowledge is crucial to success, so some recommended topics to read would be:

1) mazars top ranking in the audit satisfaction survey
2) mazars weiser ( partenership with the US firm)

generally a bit of news that happened recently which you could talk about is the goldman sachs case happening right now and its repercussions on the financial services industry.

questions are mostly competency based mostly revolve around teamwork and situations in teamwork for e.g when a person opposed your idea etc.

there was also questions around planning, organisation and problem solving e.g bringing new ideas to the table

overall enjoy the day theyre very nice and want to help u get in.

Lemme noe how u get along then.

Hi arsal888,

Just wanted to say congratulations on receiving an offer for working at Mazars. This is my first ever post on Wikijob and I was wondering if you can help me out a little. I have passed through to first interview stage for Audit at Mazars and I was wondering what sort of questions you were asked in your interview, if you can remember that would be great help.

Many thanks

hi financier_50,

could you provide me some details on how your first interview went please?

thanks

Well my first round interview was meant to be next Monday however I turned up a week early. I would have just gone back next week but Gemma who was doing my interview kindly had a free hour so conducted it there and then. However, I think the turning up a week early will go against me. Otherwise the London Office looked amazing and everyone I met was really nice. We shall see.

How did your interview go?

Had my assessment day recently. Any chance I may have seen you?

Hi guys,

So has anyone out there actually started their graduate scheme with Mazars?

I'm curious to find out what life is like working there and what kind of support and pay one gets...

Zaza, did you take the offer?

thanks

Hi everyone.

I have an assessment day for Mazars coming up on Monday and was just wondering if anyone had experienced one recently and what it was like. What is the group discussion on? And with the partner interview, what kind of questions did they ask? Was it along the same lines as the first round interview and how much commercial awareness stuff did they ask?

I have also heard that the in-tray exercise is particularly tough. Is this true? And finally, anyone have any ideas what the starting salary is (outside of London)?

From my first interview they seem like a really nice, genuine, good firm to work for so I kind of hope I do ok.

Any help would be much appreciated :)
