\nWhere you have been able to get your CV to speak for you
\nand you have been called for an interview, you then have to speak for yourself
\nat the interview.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the first blog on interviewing techniques, we
\nmentioned a few bullet points which we are continuing with in this blog.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

\nUSE
\nACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

This is very important in dealing with interview
\nquestions. Employers are looking for people who have the experience, so the
\nmore you are able to shine this out the better your chances are of getting the
\njob.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFor example, if you are asked, \u201ccan you carry out bank
\nreconciliation?\u201d <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnswer- Yes I can. I have to make sure all data entry is
\ncarried out and I click all transactions that appear on the bank statement and
\nthen match. The difference at the bottom should become 0 and then I click
\nreconcile.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nCompared
\nto:<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnswer- Yes I can. I have to make sure I post all the
\ncustomers invoices into the sales ledger, I then post all suppliers invoices to
\nthe purchases ledger and all bank postings have to be carried out in the bank
\nledger. Once all these posting have been done, the double entry effect can be
\nchecked in the nominal ledger for accuracy of postings. I am then ready to
\nproceed with the bank reconciliation and this means I have to go to the bank
\nledger and click on reconcile \u2026.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNotice the second answer has a lot of accounting
\nterminologies and in getting an answer with such level of terminologies will
\nmake you stand out from someone that just refers to data entry or posting of
\ntransactions.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a>You have to bear in mind that using the right
\nterminologies is very important and this has to flow smoothly in your answers.
\nThe ability to do this doesn\u2019t come naturally; it only comes with practice and
\nloads of practice for that matter.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSo I will strongly encourage you to get talking. I call
\nit <\/span>\u201cTALK
\nTHE TALK\u201d.<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
\nAsk yourself questions, and speak about the answers to
\nanybody who will listen to you- family member, friend, pet- a dog or cat who
\nwill give you audience. If you don\u2019t have any of these, sit yourself down in
\nfront of a mirror and watch yourself answer these basic questions and loads
\nmore:<\/span><\/div>\n
