mrfritz 887 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 have an interview tomorrow and part of it is an accounting test. the test is supposed to take half an hour, probably just the basics, right?? Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yeah, debits on the left/credits on the right. Know what types of accounts typically have credit/debit balances. Anything high level concepts you're unsure of? What's the position? My boss actually had me lookover some possible tests for candidates for an open position the other day...ARE YOU INTERVIEWING AT MY JOB?! Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 still have not applied to jobs and stuff. aiming for tomorrow night. spent all of this afternoon grilling, making a portfolio rebalance tool for my brother, and then fixing something with my computer. my boss asks me if I'm 1/2 to 2/3rds done with my series 65 book.. I'm barely at 1/4th, gave her an emphatic yes. we'll make up the difference on volume. Link to post Share on other sites

My boss actually had me lookover some possible tests for candidates for an open position the other day...ARE YOU INTERVIEWING AT MY JOB?! It's for a staff accountant. i just reread the email and it said "short accounting test." I struggle sometimes with consolidations, but I can't imagine that'll be on it. I got 24 hours notice for this interview. Are you from Pittsburgh? Probably not. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes, I'd say its unlikely to include consolidations. That's usually "senior staff accountant" type stuff. Probably will be a bit about accruals, prepaids, and deferrals. Probably how a transaction flows through the revenue cycle. I'm trying to think what was all on the test my boss showed me. And no, not Pittsburgh. Link to post Share on other sites

Walked around the museum a little bit. Not much else to say. Basically just talked about work. Kept it superficial. She paid. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Had my annual review today. Scored 4.07 out of 5. Reportedly the highest score, by a healthy margin, of all the DM's in the company. There were a couple of small numbers results that brought that portion of the review down to 3.7 but the bigger picture, revenue, compensation and profit were all 4's. Scored 4.8 out of 5 on the Core Values/personal attributes section. All that lead, reportedly, to the largest raise given to any DM. 4.04%. Sigh. There was a whole paragraph about how I'm ready for the next step, blah, blah, blah. That, the news that I scored the highest of the DM's and another 6 percent would have made for a decent raise. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That, the news that I scored the highest of the DM's and another 6 percent would have made for a decent raise. one of my new friends here is in cell phone sales, just got a 3% raise, and is livid over it. he's trying to talk to his boss about it, but it's a big company, and it's just a terrible waste of everyone's time to even discuss it. I am just a little blown away that someone who is really good at sales would not immediately go out and start interviewing again. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 and, what I mean by cell phone sales, is he's like head of this state for samsung, so he goes around training people at various stores. super affable, perfect for the job. Link to post Share on other sites
