BASIC INTERVIEW QUESTION AND ANSWER’S
Practice and get comfortable with these common job questions and answer samples before our interview and we’ll feel
more confident, while giving much better answers. We recommend spending some time getting comfortable with what we
might be asked, what hiring managers are really looking for in our responses, and what it takes to show that we're
the right man or woman for the job.

1. Can you tell me a little about yourself?

To answer, walk them through our background, starting at how we began our career or our current line of work. Take them through
key accomplishments, key career moves we’ve made, and end by sharing what we’re looking to do next in our career and why we’re job
hunting. Good answer sample: “I started my career in Marketing after graduating with a Business degree in 2011. I’ve spent
my entire career at Google, receiving 3 promotions and 4 awards for outstanding performance. I’m looking to join a smaller
company now, and take on more leadership and project management.”

2. How did you hear about the position?

This is one of the simplest question and answer scenarios in any interview, but that doesn’t mean it can’t ruin our chances at the job if
we answer incorrectly. Good answer sample: “I saw the job posted on a website, and the position seemed interesting so I
wanted to learn more” “I found the position while looking for jobs online” “Your company was recommended to me by
somebody I worked with in a previous job and had heard good things about your organization” “I heard about it from a
friend”

3. What do you know about our company?

Our primary goal is to show we’ve done our research or knew about their company before applying. If we do this, we’ll be fine. If we
don’t seem like we know anything about them, we’ll come across as desperate – somebody who will take any job they can find. And
that’s going to make we unattractive to any good employers out there. Good answer sample: “From what I read, your company is
one of the leaders in providing BEST AUDIT to other businesses. I read the list of clients on your website. Do you mostly
serve Fortune 500 clients? I saw a couple big Fortune 500 companies mentioned on the list, including ... and........ ” “You’re
one of the largest AUDIT FIRM in the INDIA .

4. Why did you apply for this position?

We need to sound like we want the RIGHT job and that we’re being picky. Companies want the best performers, and the best
performers are picky in their job hunt. Stay away from negatives and complaints too. Do not bad-mouth our current company or boss.
Focus on the positives of the company we’re interviewing with. Good answer sample: “I’ve heard great things about the work
environment here from a few colleagues. And when I saw this job posting, it seemed to match my skills very closely. For
example, I saw on the job description that you need somebody who’s an expert in STATUTORY AUDIT . This is what I focused
on in both of my previous positions, and was even the focus of my academic work before graduating university. I consider
myself an expert in STATUTORY AUDIT and it’s a skill I hope to continue specializing in.” “Since beginning my career, I’ve
wanted to work for a larger organization in this industry, and I know you’re one of the leaders in this space. I’m very
interested in your services, especially the mobile applications you’re building recently, so I’d be excited to come here and
grow my skills with an organization like yours.”

Question Which kind of ca articleship help ?

A CA articleship will also give me the chance to work with diverse clients and industries, allowing me to expand my understanding
of different business structures and challenges. This exposure will enhance my problem-solving abilities and enable me to apply
theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. Additionally, the articleship will provide networking opportunities, allowing me to
build connections within the industry and gain insights from seasoned professionals. Overall, pursuing a CA articleship aligns
