1)Why are you applying for this position? (工作性质,职业生涯目标,公司声望等)
2)Please explain how your personal qualities, skills, knowledge and working experience will help you to be successful in the position for which you are applying. (关键问题,见“准备篇”)

跟二面相比,一面的问题更为结构化,即是比较容易摸着门道。建议大家准备好如下问题的中文和英文答案:
1.自我介绍(回顾我在“准备篇”里面提到的“四大喜欢什么人”)
2.为什么想做审计?(按网申OPEN Q的答案说)
3.你是如何看待审计的(历史由来,存在价值,未来发展)
4_Any preparation for the application, for example take CPA test, take related courses?
5.你最成功的/最有收获的/最能显示你的领导能力和团队精神的一件事
6.失败的例子。(团队合作,最好主动认错,然后找出缺点并改进)
7.你觉得最感兴趣的课程是什么?(尽量往财务类课程靠)
8.最后一般面试官会问你有没有问题要问他/她?(事先想好2-3个问题)
9.为什么选择我们公司,而不是其余三大?(这个是FINAL面的经典问题,留后面详细说)
我的THANK YOU LETTER刚发完不久,就收到KPMG的电话了,Crystal问我为什么不选择KPMG。这是四大的习惯,一般都要询问到底选择了哪个的,我也早有准备。可是,当我说完,Crystal说了一句让我感动得一塌糊涂的话:“如果你在银行干了两三年之后,觉得不开心,KPMG随时欢迎你回来……”且不论这句话是不是客套,但它足以让我毕生难忘。
后来,我还收到KPMG的“Happy New Year”短信。HR经理Lynn还亲自复了我的THANK YOU LETTER。当时我为了图方便,四大的THANK YOU LETTER我是群发的,其余几个都没有回复,仅仅是Lynn回复了,让我感到不好意思的同时,又再次感动一番。
