What to expect from a second interview?

[EssexHoney]

Well im a accountant, will be hopefully qualified in August after just taking my final exams.

I have had some interviews and have been asked back for a second interview to the one i want the most!!

What happens in second interviews?

[Karl]

theyll be more job specific with the interview,
find out how you work etc.

i got asked to give examples of things ive done in other workplaces in my last secoind interview, was for asda, very weird interviews bloody americans :p, tbh just be yourself

[EssexHoney]

The guy interviewing me is from Belgium!! He was pratictically giving me the job in the first interview but i didnt know if the second interview would be a bit more of a challenge!!

[furio-james]

I would expect a job from a second interveiw tbh!

They clearly liked you in the first so just been the same as you were and you will be fine!

Good luck!!

a second interview? always a good thing mate. means they really considering you but have probably shortlisted so many people so just gonna get everyone of those shortlisted back to make final decision. or maybe have already chosen you and just want to get you back to describe in more detail. good luck

[EssexHoney]

Thank you, will hopefully find out wednesday if ive got the job!!

[Jojobunbun]

oooh good luck! every second interview i've had is basically giving you the job anyway, you might be able to relax a bit more at the second interview and get to know your work area better. Let us know how it goes on wednesday :) xx

Second interviews ive had have been more job specific. So ive always did a little extra research into the company interviewing so i cant be caught on hop. Good luck

[davew]

never even had an interview, but from what other people have told me, there usually abit more relaxed with you and just wanna find out hat your about and weather they think your work ability and personality will fit the job

good luck!

second interview in my experiance is more detailed, to the point and normally with a high boss. but 2nd time around is less stressfull. what qualifaction are you doing, im currently studying aca.

ive never had an interview, cant imagine

i once got a call from a job that i had sent my cv to, they called and asked me a few questions over the phone, i thought it was just to see if they were gona decide if they wanted to interview me but at the end of the phone call they offered me the £26k a year job lol so i didnt realy have a interview, started 1 week after the phone call

[Graham]

whats it like doing accountancy? i've thought about doing that at uni but i've heard its incredibly dull

[besaxo]

A second interview usually means your probably going to be offerd the job. You go for extra details to sort out pay, times, and other little bits to make sure your confident and actually want the job. Your within touching distance, so all the best :D

Ive just finished doing AAT Mr X, starting ACCA in September, wasnt sure whether or not to do ACA or ACCA but decided to go for ACCA!!

Graham, this first three years ive just done has just been pretty much the same thing over and over again, most of the stuff i learnt i do at work anyway so it was easy to pick up at college. Not sure what the uni course would be like though!! The ACCA which im doing next though is a bit harder apparently, it goes into everything in lots more detail so im going to have to get my head down a lot more!! Itd not dull if you like doing it, but then i guess thats the same with every job!!

ACCA is really good as its international, so its easier to get a job abroad. You must get exemptions, as you have completed AAT? ACCA and ACA are definitely a lot harder, but its more interesting etc. Its really worth it, plus the money is great.

Good luck with it.
