Instead, I always say, answer the question like a politician. Think of anything which you know may relate to the subject asked and try to get a closely related answer.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">For example, if you are asked; do you know how to use Quick books and maybe you have never used this before, rather than saying no, you may want to consider saying something like; <\/span><\/div>\n<div><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cI am able to use Sage 50 confidently up to trial balance level, but not Quick books, but I also know that all accounting software are built on the same double entry principle and with little guidance I will be able to use Quick books confidently\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Notice, I have not said no I don\u2019t know how to use Quick books, but I have implied it anyway, but in setting an answer like above, you are giving yourself a fighting chance in getting the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Notice, also in this answer, there is a trace of using accounting terminologies- Sage 50, trial balance, double entry principle. This will show, you don\u2019t know the exact subject being asked, but you are still reflecting signs of knowledge in accounting. You never can tell, the company may be willing to train you on the aspects they may find lacking if they are convinced you have other strong accounting qualities.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"border: solid windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt;\">\n<div style=\"border: none; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-padding-alt: 1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt; padding: 0cm; text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"border: none; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-padding-alt: 1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt; padding: 0cm; text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Ability<br \/>\nto swing a question to your advantage, does not come easily, it comes with<br \/>\npractice and loads of practice.
