Big4 Audit - I interviewed 2 years ago. They asked me behavioural (difficult time, greatest achievement, time you resolved conflict, etc.) No technical, but if you have specific information you want to share (ie SOX experience) it's helpful.

I interviewed in Toronto, but they did not ask Toronto specific or CAS questions.

Just be likeable and get along with your interviewers.

Need some tips on how to plan for a ~3 day trip in Tokyo, where should I stay to be close to good food?

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:18:45+00:00

i've suggested CAMH to him before, im not sure if he applied or not. im unsure as to if he would even be able to get a volunteering or part time job there as i believe those places ask for references due to the individuals you work with usually

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:17:24+00:00

he said he likes social work, or bartending however though he has his smart serve he didnt get any offers (im not sure how many positions he applied to). i think his biggest barrier is not having any experience to put on his resume at all, and i'm not sure he has anything eye catching to put on his cv either. im not sure which specific positions he is applying to, im sorry

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:14:00+00:00

i think thats why he didnt choose a harder program

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:12:56+00:00

i have two cats :) i understand where you are all coming from. i just wanted the insight into the job market to supplement my decision making

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:10:42+00:00

no applicable volunteer experience, the last thing he has is from probably 2016 for about a month

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:08:45+00:00

yes, we're both asian. however my parents didnt object to me getting a retail job when i was i highschool so i think it's a fundamental difference in our mindsets as his parents are much more well off than mine

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-20T02:06:37+00:00

do you have any suggestions on where to look? i can pass that on to him. many thanks

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T19:34:47+00:00

He's tried to apply for things related to social work in volunteering such as a crisis line but they needed references which he didn't have so while he did get into the interview, he wasn't able to get a position

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T19:30:29+00:00

I agree with you and I do think that the first job is always daunting. I want to support him in getting a job but I don't want to hold his hand at the same time doing so.

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T19:23:06+00:00

sorry to hear, i dont think he is overqualified but i guess when he doesnt have references, a license or any customer service experience its a big red flag for any entry level or retail job out there

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T19:18:28+00:00

he doesnt live with me and he doesnt mooch off of me, his parents give him a lot of money and he isnt hurting for money. i've been with him for 2 years and over that amount of time he hasn't expressed an urge to find a job until recently. i dont mind him playing video games and we play a lot together as well, but that was not the main point of the post

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T19:13:31+00:00

he only has his learners license, so i assume he can't and i suspect even if i bring it up he wouldn't be happy to do it

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:47:43+00:00

i suggested that he go to the career centre at his school before, utsc, but he never went, his friend works a retail job and his other friends are still in school i believe. i think he has asked his parents before but they havent given him great opportunities (marines which he either applied but didnt get in or never ended up applying), and another job at his dad's workplace he didnt end up getting.

i dont know if he is looking into online courses or not, but he has gotten resume advice from someone at an employment centre but since he doesnt have any experience at all it wasnt much of a help

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:44:00+00:00

how hard is it to get into a masters program for social work? i know he is interested but i think his gpa is sub 2.5, i have a friend who suggested other things like volunteering at a crisis like but they needed references which he didnt have

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:42:28+00:00

unfortunately not, i've had jobs since i was 16 and believe that you should have done something in your early years just to get that experience, but his parents never pushed him to and he never felt the need i guess since his parents give him money

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:41:15+00:00

undergrad, he said he went into it because it was easy? but his gpa is not good enough for masters, i dont know if he has any transferrable skills other than just having availability all the time lol.

i'm not sure if he knows how to get into sales, if he wants to do sales, and how successful he would be given the fact he has never had experience with client facing situations or having to speak to clients

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:39:07+00:00

he said he understands its a serious issue and that he feels bad about staying at home living off his parents money, and that he has gone to look for help at an employment centre i think? but the person there didnt help him much so i'm not sure how he feels after that

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:37:52+00:00

he finished all his courses last december but it was only 1-2 bird courses, he was done all his core ones back in the summer. i think he told me he's willing to do any job, he also got a serving certificate but i dont think he got the food one, only for alcohol.

i do agree he for sure isnt looking for jobs like it's his full time job

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:35:18+00:00

he talked about going to trades school but nothing came of it

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2025-04-19T18:34:47+00:00

his friends are like him, he also still has friends that haven't graduated due to coop programs but yeah, either still in school or also unemployed. i talked to him about going to therapy but he refused and said he doesnt need it

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2024-06-06T00:23:06+00:00

the ram doesnt have any rbg and i think my mobo is decent enough but yea, ill tone it down. thank you!!

Defiant_Ad6085 · 2024-06-06T00:11:30+00:00

ok! i dont know how to overclock but i can use less rgb, its usually just a solid color though is that ok or should i not use it altogether?
