PRLog (Press Release) –
Apr 23, 2008 – Former staff of the Big Four public accounting firms are ready to spill the beans. Aiming to help college grads gain an edge over the competition in the brutally competitive world of public accounting, Big4Guru.com offers insider information to help accounting students get noticed and get hired by these world-class firms.
The new site is targeted to those considering a career in public accounting with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, KPMG and Deloitte & Touche. Visitors will find interview tactics, accounting industry trends and, most importantly, insight into the minds of those they will be interviewing with.
"Information truly is power," says the Big 4 Guru himself, a PwC alumni who has chosen to remain anonymous. "Anyone can have a great GPA and a great resume, but this won't get you noticed in today's market - you need an edge." This edge, according to the guru, is understanding exactly what Big 4 recruiters are looking for in job candidates. "The Big 4 recruiting process is a well oiled machine. They know what they're looking for, what they want to hear and, especially, what they do not want to hear.'
The Guru points to one specific item, referred to as the donut scandal, in which interviewers are strategically weeded out before they even have a chance to interview. "When I learned about this during the campus recruiting process while I worked with PwC I knew it was only a matter of time before I wanted to break this to the public - it just didn't seem fair."
When asked why he wants this information to be released, the Big 4 Guru notes the fact that job candidates and interviewers are almost always left in the dark. "My passion is helping those who are in the same position I once was. You don't know what to expect, you don't know all the lingo, you don't know when you're being judged or how. I want you to know all this so you can make the best impression possible."
Big4Guru.com, is celebrating its launch with a Spring 2008 sale on the ebook, The Big 4 Guru's Book of Secrets. The site also includes the Guru's blog which provides breaking news on accounting industry trends, information that is perfect for interviewers to work into the conversation.
