Tips in an accounting interview
Here are some tips when you get that accounting job interview:
1. Watch your body language.
Fidgeting and looking too eager are dead giveaways that you are desperate for the job. It also makes you look less confident and somewhat incapable of dealing with the stress of an accounting job. To sit up straight and guard your movements – don’t be too stiff though, just be the right amount of relaxed and professional.
2. Don’t be shy about your experience.
When asked about your experience, don’t be afraid to detail your past duties. Through this, your interviewer will be able to assess whether your are qualified to do the duties entailed in the accounting job you are applying for.
3. Research the salary.
Negotiating salary is tricky, so it’s best you research on industry standards so you won’t be giving either a too high or too low salary expectation when you are asked that question.
