I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Johannesburg)
Interview
The interview process was enjoyable, they recognised that as a graduate it may be first ever interview and opted i get interviewed by someone linked to the accounting/auditing field rather than a HR member, which did feel more comfortable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In 10 years if you were to win any award what would it be?
Very straightforward interview with two people. A lot of questions in relation to tax law and tax regulations. They also asked several scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving skills and how I would apply tax principles in practical situations. The interview was professional and conversational, with opportunities to discuss previous experience and explain technical knowledge in detail. Overall, the process felt well-structured and focused on evaluating both technical expertise and communication skills.
I got a phone call with an invite to the interview. It was in person in their offices. It was intense, quite short about 20 minutes, and I was asked more questions about academics/school than I expected.
