So how much weight does a recommendation to a Big 4 have? My boss told me I should go Big 4 so she called some of her contacts. I couldn’t attend the career fair because of personal matters. I didn’t even apply for any of the Big 4. The Big 4 recruiter at my school called me to meet her on campus (not an official interview). She told me I have an on-site interview in November! I’m a little uneasy since they’re not making me go through the traditional channels. Idk if they’re just doing a favor for my old boss or if I have a serious chance. My GPA isn’t the best (3.22).
Which leads me to my question… Does a recommendation hold enough weight to get me in? I heard the on-site interview is more about personality and behavioral questions. Do I have a real shot here? The other weird part is that the start date would be in January 2014 instead of September 2014. Does that improve my chances since they’re mainly recruiting for next fall?
Thanks everyone!
