Grant thornton - when interview process starts??

(Guest)

Hi,

I just wanted to know when do Grant Thornton start taking interviews? Some of my friends told me that the Interview process starts a week before the results are announced... Or do i apply after my results?

I think the process is already started at GT. One of CCI member posted earlier that he has attended the GT Interview. So better you visit their office personally enquire them and drop a resume. Be prepare for the interview and have subject knowledge.

Better to visit personally and drop a resume. Till the time result is announced, you can prepare well for the interview and revise the subjects in brief. Be update urself with status of GST, IFRS, DTC etc. Also prepare your answers for some general interview questions like why you select to join GT, why not Big4 etc..

I also advise you to visit GT website and understand about their services, their revenues, thier locations, their experise in various fields, etc. Also decide your area of interest in particular and have some knowledge of that fields latest happenings in India. Reharse yourself for general hr interview round questions and be confident while giving answers. Hope it helps you. Also post the interview questions here for other students benefit.

Hi Mohit,

I am an ex-article of Grant Thornton, and I don't think so that they would be having any vacancies in the tax department.

Chances are that they will recruit u in their Assurance department only, as this is a peak time for assurance ppl.

Thanks

@ Mayank - I heard that in GT you get exposure and get to work in not only 1 area like Statutory Audit but also Internal Audit unlike the Big 4. Is it true?
