EY Port Jackson Partners Graduate Programs & Internships

INTERVIEW PROCESS

• Our interview process introduces you to a cross-section of our team, and is typically conducted over two or three rounds.
• Interviews are structured to evaluate your skills, experience, and suitability to the way we work, and give you a deeper understanding of our work and culture. 
• Each interview includes two components. Firstly, a discussion about your experience and interests, motivations for a career in management consulting, and your understanding of EY Port Jackson Partners. Following this, there is a case study / problem solving component.
• The discussion gives us an opportunity to get to know you better, and for you to learn more about a consulting career at EY Port Jackson Partners.
• The problem solving component is based on a real-world business scenario or case study. You can solve the case by working through a logical set of qualitative and quantitative steps. These problems assess how you think and approach a problem, rather than what you know. Our case studies are designed to simulate the type of strategy consulting work we do, and the way we approach problem solving in our teams. 

PREPARING FOR YOUR INTERVIEWS

We know that there is a daunting range of information about the best way to prepare for your case studies. We encourage you to focus less on reciting a script or relying on a pre-researched framework, and more on engaging with the process and communicating and structuring your thoughts in a clear way.

• Your application – we really value cover letters, as they give us an insight into your communication style and ability to distill information into a single page. Use your cover letter to highlight any aspects of your CV we should note and to help us to understand why you think you would be a good fit for a career in consulting with EY Port Jackson Partners.
• Your interviews – take the time to listen to the interviewers and ask questions if you need clarity: don’t rush ahead to force a solution. We are trying to get a sense of how you approach the problem. The best candidates talk us through their structure and what they’re thinking as they work, asking questions or offering observations along the way.
• General – Graduates often ask us how they can improve their general commercial knowledge and their understanding of issues in management consulting. A good starting point is to read financial news and listen to relevant podcasts on business and economics.
