while.

marketing manager. Then, I see myself can hit the ground running as your next digital

Conflict is inevitable when a company works hard to get things done.

When it happens, I try to listen and understand others’ point of view. I try to make a

discussion and not be defensive.

I’m sure that we will find the best solution if we have the same purpose.

21. Tell me about a time you failed

I once handled a startup company’s campaign project. I poured all my heart to the

make a project that they liked a lot.”

My current goal is to earn the CPA license so that I’m fully certified and prepared to

contribute in a junior staff accounting job. My undergraduate degree is in finance

and I completed an accounting internship with XYZ Company last summer. 

While I was there, I decided that each week I’d ask one person from a different team

to coffee to learn about their job and career path.

Not only did those conversations impress upon me the importance of getting my CPA

as soon as possible, they also helped me realize I was eager to pursue forensic

accounting, which is why I’m so excited about the opportunity to join this team.

In order to ensure I earn my CPA this year, I’ve enrolled in NASBA workshops, have

created a study schedule to keep myself on track, and will be taking my first trial test
