I submitted my resume and cover letter via the EY careers home page. A few days later I received an e-mail from an HR coordinator informing me that a recruiter would like to schedule a telephone interview with me. After speaking to the recruiter for approximately one hour, she informed me I would be contacted to schedule an in-person interview at the firm to which I applied. The telephone interview was no-nonsense and straight to the point; I was asked about my experience as it related to the position and several behavioral questions. The in-person interview took place two weeks later and was significantly breezier than the screening over the phone. It seemed that the recruiter who did the telephone screening mattered a lot, with some considered to be more thorough and tougher than others. At the end of the interview I was told I would be contacted by the recruiter with a verbal offer on the condition that I pass an online skills test for Microsoft Office. The following day I received the offer over the telephone and accepted. The next day the offer was sent to me in writing via e-mail.
