Question 1
What is some experience you had from a previous job that you could use in this property accountant position?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Donahue Schriber (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Six 30-minute interviews. Rotated around different departments and interviewed with the head of each department. Each person I interviewed with ended up being the mentor for their respective departments. Overall it was a great experience. I feel that the length of the interview process really tested my interview endurance, which will help me in the future.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Donahue Schriber
Interview
Three interviews total. The first one was a written skills test, and then a meeting with the HR person. Next interview was with the potential new direct supervisor. Last interview was with the boss' boss. I thought the questions and interview were pretty normal. Nothing significant to report, except that I did notice in the second interview that my potential supervisor seemed really stressed and overworked. I should have taken that as a red flag, but they were offering such a high salary compared to the same position at other firms, I guess I decided to overlook it.
