2. Question & answer
1) Tell
me about yourself
“My name is Annisa. I am twenty two years old. I am an accountant with
two years of experience working in public accounting. I love working with
numbers, but I’ve ended up making it into a lifetime career because I enjoy
working with people too. I am looking for new opportunities to contribute to
the team to use my skills and experience”.
2) Tell
me about your work experience
“I have experience Leading multi-state sales tax processes, including state registration and sales tax collection, preparing financial reports, managing budgets, and providing consulting services.”T
Tell me about your education
I graduated from the Faculty of Business and Economics University of Indonesia, majoring in Management. There, I learned a lot about marketing, finance, human resources, and operations management.
Why are you pursuing a career in accounting?
“I’ve always enjoyed math and numbers. I particularly like the way accounting requires that the numbers line up, and when they don’t line up, I enjoy troubleshooting to uncover the discrepancy.”
What qualities make a successful accountant?
“A strong foundation of the accounting technical, such as financial reporting, budget forecasting, and account management, are vital to being a dependable accountant. However, I think that an accountant’s communication skills are incredibly important to their overall success in the field. You need to be able to do the work, and communicate effectively with people to be a great accountant.”
Why did you choose to become an accountant?
“I was initially drawn to the field of accounting in my second year of college. Truth be told, I was never a mathematics person before taking my first accounting course. I was simply interested in the subject matter. Once I realized that accounting was a passion that could be profitable, I knew it was the career for me.”
Why are you leaving your current job?
“I’m in the market for a new accounting job because I was simply ready for a change. I had been working in my previous position for a little over two years, and while I learned a lot in the role, I felt that my career growth would be better suited elsewhere.”
What skill do you use the most as an accountant?
“I’ve found that having a strong base of business knowledge has helped me immensely in my career as an accountant. Flexibility and time management are very useful skills that I turn to on a daily basis as well.”
Tell me about a time you made a mistake at work and how you handled it.
“In my last job, everything had been going swimmingly for over a year. Until a file became corrupt one day. I hadn’t backed up my accounting software in quite a few months and my company ended up losing a good chunk of data. Needless to say, they weren’t happy with me. I ended up putting in extra hours at work to reorganize the information that had been lost. While the situation was a nightmare, I learned a lot from the mistake, and now I absolutely always backup my software daily.”
Why should we hire you?
Be confident in your response, but leave out any conceitedness. You want your answer to be memorable enough to the hiring manager that they remember your reasoning long after the interview concludes.
