Are you having a presentation evening so I can find out more?

Yes, Auckland applicants who have been offered a position or invited to attend an interview with us will be invited to our presentation evening at Grant Thornton House, Auckland.

Who will interview me?

In most cases, your first interview will be with a member of our Human Resources team. A manager and/or partner will conduct the second interview. This ensures you have the opportunity to get to know a variety of our Grant Thornton team.

How do I prepare for my interview?

The key is to be yourself. Listen carefully to the questions being asked, consider your responses, don’t rush, and feel free to ask if you don’t understand a question. The interview is a two-way process where we get to know you and you have an opportunity to ask questions about Grant Thornton New Zealand. Take a look around our website and make a note of some questions you might wish to ask us.

What should I wear to the interviews?

Grant Thornton New Zealand has a corporate dress policy so please present professionally to your interviews.
