During the Interview

A few questions for during the interview:

  1. For an accounting question, let's say you purchase an equipment. When asking for the impacts on financial statement, do you automatically assume they want to know what happens in Year 2? (ie. talk about depreciation in year 2)

  2. Do you keep your padfolio open on the table with your resume in front of you? Should you have a calculator in the padfolio? Do you have to ask the interviewer before you take notes/do calculations in your padfolio?

Thanks for help.

 

For 1., you should ask the interviewer if we're assuming the equipment was purchased at the end of the FY, beginning, or at some point in the middle. I'm pretty sure they won't just say "you bought a $100 factory, what happens to 3 financial statements?" -- or if they do, they'll be looking to you to ask them about the date to show that you have a clue about how depreciation works.
