So just took my prerecorded interview with EY for an entry level FSO Assurance Associate Position. What a nightmare that was!!! The first question was relatively simple that I had, I didn’t realize that it takes 30 seconds before it starts recording, so I was answering the question when it wasn’t recording, then freaked out and stopped the clip within 4 seconds, which threw me off. That first question got submitted as my final answer. That threw off the whole interview. Then of course has to ask me about a time I was a leader, which I wasn’t comfortably even answering, then another follow up question to that same story. I thought I was able to answer 2 questions descent, but man that first question threw me off. I understand why they ask teamwork questions, but don’t understand why they emphasize a time you were a leader so much, considering your applying for an entry level position, where you never really had the chance to manage a team. So then you have to talk about a school project. Sorry for venting, just really upset because I was able to get the interview through my dad’s friend who is a partner, and felt really confident going in and left knowing I will not make it to the next round. I don’t know why I keep thinking my future is over if I don’t get into a big four while I am still young. Can someone please convince me that you don’t need Big Four to be successful in career? Need some motivation now. I have been at a small CPA firm for a little over a year now.
