Employment opportunities

JAKARTA (JP): Ernst & Young, Hanadi, Sarwoko and Sandjaja, an
accounting joint venture, is offering 30 employment opportunities
to students of the University of Indonesia, Trisakti University
and Padjadjaran University in Bandung, West Java.

The initiative was disclosed on Thursday as part of Ernst &
Young's plan to conduct roadshows and selection tests in the
three universities.

The program will be held at the Padjadjaran University from
April 22 to April 25, the University of Indonesia from April 27
to April 29 and May 8, and Trisakti University on May 10, the
company said in a statement made available to The Jakarta Post.

The graduates sought by the firm are expected to fill the
taxation, management consulting and corporate finance positions,
the statement said.

"In today's tough times, when job vacancies are limited, we
hope that our program will encourage other firms to also provide
badly needed employment," said company president Peter Knox.

Students interested in the offer are invited to undertake the
selection process including technical tests on accounting and
auditing, problem solving and prioritizing to a series of
interviews.

"We are looking for graduates who, among other things, possess
strong academic credentials and are committed to learning and
have strong interpersonal skills," Budiman Natadiningrat, the
firm's human resources director, said.

Besides offering the employment opportunities, the company
also will provide scholarships to 10 students based on their
academic achievements.

The scholarships, worth Rp 500,000 per semester per student,
will initially be given to students of the University of
Indonesia for one year, the statement said.

Ernst and Young, an international accounting firm which has
been operating in Indonesia over the last 30 years, provides a
wide range of services, ranging from auditing, taxation,
management consulting, corporate advisory to business advisory
services. (hhr)
