Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you had a question that nobody in your office could answer?
I had a first meeting with the CFO who was very pleasant. The interview was informal and it was easy to be secured. Nice office and great location in central London. The CFO requested the FC to be in the office 5 days a week and, therefore, the role became less appealing for me even though the salary on offer was great.
