How to Do Well in a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
The company will be looking for you to have certain skills such as strong numeracy and analytical skills prepare examples that demonstrate this. Also read the job description, normally this tells you what the company are looking for ie essential skills and desirable. If the company has not provided a job description then go to a website that advertises a similar position. From there you will get an idea of what skills a Cost Analyst needs. Then prepare examples of these specific skills ie analytical skills.
Accountancy is not always a pre requisite if they have called you for interview they will be aware of your subjects through your resume.

Act confident and make sure you know your resume thoroughly as questions will be based around this, make sure you research the company and research what a cost analyst does.

Good luck!
