CPA Interview Prep Workshop – September 11th, 4:30 pm

Are you getting ready for an CPA interview this Fall? If so, make sure to attend our upcoming interview prep workshop on September 11th, 4:30 pm to 6:15 pm.

In this workshop, various types of interviews the Firms are known to use and why will be discussed along with some best practices to prepare for every possible scenario. Anticipating firms’ expectations and creating talking points, questions for interviewers and tailored responses will be addressed so you can put your best foot forward. Answer preparation for open-ended,  behavioural and value-based questions will be provided to help each student make the greatest possible impact on their interviewer(s). You will leave the workshop with tools to complete your preparation for interview success along with strategies for follow up to protect your investment to secure your interview(s).
