My Second Interview with Accenture
I didn’t want to say much about this second interview here. However, seeing as my first post on the subject seems to have helped a couple of people out there, I thought I should share a little something for the second round interviews also.
My second interview was with a different person from Accenture, Montreal. He was really nice, but we skipped the chatting from the first interview and dove right into the subject matter: Behaviour, Behaviour, Behaviour. So I will only give you one piece of advice for this second interview: Prepare at least 5 projects from which you remember a large amount of details (because, yes, they will dig really deep!), and be ready to answer a couple of questions using those projects. I also suggest visiting quintcareers.com’s sample behavioural questions to get an idea of the kind of questions you will be asked. You should be able to find all of the information you need in order to do well in behavioral interviews on that website. You should also visit the section on Second Interview Do’s and Don’ts from the same website.
Just to give you an idea of the kind of questions they may ask you. I was asked to “talk about a time you had to talk about the difficulties you were facing in a project
”. They asked me a lot of questions about the said project, what was it, why was it difficult, but they also asked me to explain in detail how I was feeling when I was talking to my employer. Needless to say, it was very difficult to remember.
Oh and one last thing. Don’t ever lie about a project. It’s way better to be honest. I told them at one point that I didn’t remember this project in that much detail. They said “no problem, we’ll change question
”. After all, they are not there to torture you, they are only there to find out more about you. If you lie, then all they’ll find out about you is that you are a liar… and that would definitively rule out a third round interview! Having said that, I would recommend studying your past five projects you’ve done and try to remember as much details as possible.

Hello Guys,
Last week I had my In-person interview and I can say that it was same as 2nd round. Overall review of your skill and experience. I had nice one hour conversation with Area Operation Manager. He was very supportive and gave me nice advices about my future. He explained me all the requirement of Accenture. After that interview I spoke with HR for 15 minutes and guess what within 3 hours HR call me and told me that I AM HIRED. So from next month I will join Accenture team. Hope this move will be good for my future.
Regards,

Hi guys,
I’ll having my phone interview with one of the accenture project manager this afternoon. Quite nervous! I believe that the situation will be some how similar with some of you. I’ve been advice by the recruiter to go thru all the technical stuff and also projects I’ve done during my uni. And tomorrow, I’ll meet the client. I’ve read some accenture interview review said that they will ask in depth of the processes
& configuration portion in your expertise area. Wish me luck! TQ

Good luck Iera! Come back and let us know how it went. Don’t share the exact questions, but the type of questions and stuff. It’s interesting for others to read before their interview. Good luck again!
