The interview process was smooth, the panel was great and I felt comfortable all the way through. It's really a shame they didn't go through with the employment contract. I got an email saying I was successful and the contract would be sent soon, but I never got it.

  • Could you tell me about assessed losses and the corresponding section in the Income Tax Act?

Behavioral Presentation

When you get to the page, there's a Kanban with 4 sections. The first is for introducing yourself, no need to record it, just to get you warmed up. The other 3 sections are for answering questions, and you only have 1 minute for each response. The prep time is super short, so definitely be ready beforehand and practice a lot.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Tell me about why you applied for your chosen service line and what makes you excited about a career in this part of our company.
  • In line with Grant Thornton's "Striving for Excellence" mission, can you share an instance where you exceeded your job requirements? Why is this significant to you, and what steps did you take to meet your objectives?
  • Grant Thornton's values are CARE: Collaboration, Authenticity, Responsibility, and Excellence. Which of these resonates most with you and why? How do you demonstrate this value in your daily life?

I had to wait for about a month and a half after they confirmed my application before I could do the online test. I sent three emails during this waiting period, but only got one reply, basically telling me to keep waiting without giving any estimate of when the test would be available.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • The online assessment typically takes under 5 minutes to complete, and it's designed to assess the strengths and competencies we are looking for, which will enable high performance in a trainee role at Grant Thornton.
