    This is good information.
    I mentioned in a previous thread but my goal right now is to continue studying accounting at Ensign College in Salt Lake until I receive my Bachelors. Their plan is very much on track to help pass the CMA exams which is something I want to accomplish. After that, I plan to apply at Southern Utah University and achieve an MAcc. After all that, I'd prefer to start in private accounting in the A/R department and work on my 5 year / 10 year plan... which may include getting a CPA, and deciding what route I'd use to get to a Controller position and possibly a CFO.

I followed ALL of your tips and the interviewer said I sound "Intelligent" and that I was a "great candidate" and that she has "no idea what I was talking about" hahaha. She said she "will have the financial controller interview me further" lol. I mentioned financial statements and other records as well. I also explained stuff my way that way it was easier for me to follow through. I integrated(mixed in) my own work history to support the Qualities on the job description. The interviewer reduced the amount of questions because I have answered the first ones very well. I have a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics - studied accounting as an undergraduate. - Have no work experience.
    Excellent tips -- straight to the point!!

    2. If you saw I've made a mistake, and we are in a team meeting, would you point it out in front of everyone or rather tell me in person.

      Good questions,
      1. Yes, I would be. If I truly believe it can be done better, I will make sure to let you know.
      2. Depends. If I found it absolutely necessary for the purpose of the meeting, I will raise the point. But if if can be corrected in private afterwards, that would be my approach.
