We then discussed how I’ve applied those skills in practice, including my use of tools such as Excel. From there, the conversation moved into my interest in accounting, followed by some general accounting questions related to the responsibilities of the role.

Interview
Campus hire. Typical interview process, with two interviewers and a focus on behavioral questions (Tell me about a time when you had to make a difficult decision...). After interview on college campus, invited to on-site interview. Three separate interviews with different managers. Some behavioral and technical questions and some get to know you questions. Overall, positive experience.
