Virtual/Fractional CFO

Interview advice

Going for this role at MJA Chartered Accountants? A few things that help freshers walk in prepared:

• Before you go in, list the top three things this job asks for and prepare one concrete example for each — then tie every answer back to them.
• It is fine not to know something — say how you would find the answer. Freshers are hired for how they think, not for knowing everything already.
• Use STAR for "tell me about a time" questions — Situation, Task, Action, Result — so your story stays clear and short.
• Keep answers tight and on-point; avoid rambling or personal topics like religion, politics, relationships or family.
• Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early (not an hour), and carry a printed CV, a valid ID and any certificates.
