The ACCA Job Hunting Competition, a region-wide event organised annually by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, has shortlisted 12 contestants for the final round of the Hong Kong leg.
This year's contest, run as simulated job interviews, received more than 320 applications, out of which 60 students were selected to take the aptitude test.
Only 24 made it to the semi-finals, where they were divided into four groups and interviewed by senior finance and human resources executives of multinational corporations.
The group interview session was conducted in Putonghua, English and Cantonese and 12 contestants progressed to the Hong Kong final.
The top three from each of the Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Hong Kong legs will contest the grand final in Guangzhou in June.
They will have the chance to work as interns at the sponsoring organisations.
