I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Catalina Holdings (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Feb 2018
Interview
Very friendly. Standard questions. Felt very comfortable straight away and a really lovely firm. Wanted to know whether I was interested enough and dedicated enough to embark on the three years of exams. Also centered around what I knew about the firm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What sort of skills do you think an accountant needs to have?
