Interview questions [1]

Question 1

The interviews were very conversational which is usually easy, but I prepared for behavioral questions and was a little thrown off. I included classes that I took during college on my resume and the interviewer kept asking about what I was learning. Just be prepared to talk fairly in depth about anything on your resume.

Basic behavioral questions like most interviews in accounting. Does not look for any specific accounting knowledge. They also ask you to ask questions yourself, and they are really looking for an outgoing individual who has a strong GPA. They also ask questions about your resume, what you have done and descriptions of it.
