This is good information. I mentioned in a previous thread but my goal right now is to continue studying accounting at Ensign College in Salt Lake until I receive my Bachelors. Their plan is very much on track to help pass the CMA exams which is something I want to accomplish. After that, I plan to apply at Southern Utah University and achieve an MAcc. After all that, I'd prefer to start in private accounting in the A/R department and work on my 5 year / 10 year plan... which may include getting a CPA, and deciding what route I'd use to get to a Controller position and possibly a CFO.

A manager asked me the following question in an jobinterview. 1. If I told you to do something in a specific way, would you be the person that would tell me that it's better to do it in a different way. 2. If you saw I've made a mistake, and we are in a team meeting, would you point it out in front of everyone or rather tell me in person. What would be the best answer to give sir?

@TheFinancialController 3 жыл бұрын

Good questions, 1. Yes, I would be. If I truly believe it can be done better, I will make sure to let you know. 2. Depends. If I found it absolutely necessary for the purpose of the meeting, I will raise the point. But if if can be corrected in private afterwards, that would be my approach.

Really sad that I had to enroll in ERP type courses at a community college to gain beg-advanced skills in Quickbooks and Excel.

Especially since uni costs are so high, we'd cover an extensive amount of material to prepare students for jobs.

I also explained stuff my way that way it was easier for me to follow through. I integrated(mixed in) my own work history to support the Qualities on the job description.
