Interview Dos and Don’ts

At Withum, we care about team members and want to help them succeed. We think hiring is the first step in investing in our people so we’ve put together some tips to help you ace your interview with us!

  1. Dress the part. Always look professional even when participating in an interview that is in a video format.
  2. Don’t be late. This will come off as unprofessional. If there is something that you foresee keeping you from being on time, we recommend you send out an email to let the person know you are running behind. Let them know what time you anticipate being ready.
  3. Research the firm. Find out more about Withum. Study up on the business, our clientele and the industry. The information acquired will enable more in depth discussions during your interview and help you come up with questions to ask the interviewer.
  4. Ask questions. Prepare a list of questions before the interview.  This is where your research will come in handy.
  5. Be prepared to talk. Do not be unresponsive. Show your enthusiasm.
  6. Be prepared to discuss your plans for taking the CPA exam.  Same with 150 credits. If you are graduating with less than 150 credits, discuss how you plan to obtain the remaining credits.
  7. Know the difference between private and public accounting.
