First of all, I received an email requesting my availability for a telephone interview. I gave my availability for that week and the week after. However, they took a while to respond, in comparison to other companies I have applied for, then scheduled my interview for a day I was unavailable. After rearranging, I did not enjoy the telephone interview itself. The interviewer seemed disinterested and asked repetitive questions which I had already answered. Then when I asked any questions she did not answer them, just asked me what I thought and said I was incorrect, which was exactly why I asked her the question. Even if I am accepted to the next round I will decline as I am shocked at the lack of organisation and coherency of the company, as everything up until now has been handled messily.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through your CV and tell me how this makes you suitable for the role.
Multiple stages consisting of a technical interview and a behavioural interview. For me the technical interview was fairly hard as i was not expecting deep technical knowledge regrading financial statements.
The interview process typically begins with an initial screening round, which may be conducted over a phone call or video interview to assess communication skills, basic qualifications, and overall suitability for the role. This is followed by a technical or functional round, where candidates are evaluated on their analytical abilities, Excel proficiency, understanding of business operations, and problem-solving skills.
Shortlisted candidates may then attend a managerial or HR round, focusing on behavioral questions, cultural fit, ownership, adaptability, and career goals. In some cases, a task or case study may also be assigned to assess practical skills. The final decision is communicated after overall evaluation of performance across all rounds.
