Joining Bly probably was the wisest thing I have ever done for my career where I learned all the basic knowledge needed in the real working environment and Coco is such a great role model.! ?2 t. hK* _6 X; }

Soon after I started working with this company, I started my CPA and have now finished 3 segments. I realised that I needed another job (something more substantial that could fulfill the CPA PER). So, I started job hunting again.7 m% u4 `, {& B# J: I1 Y

As we all know, the job market has been quiet for a while and there were not as many job ads on Seek. But luckily, I got this interview opportunity. After 2 rounds of interview, and thanks to Coco's reference, I got it!

Dear Coco,
6 B. s7 E; B+ u# E( |$ c. N+ ^9 ?9 Z8 ^0 }T: o4 w! m
I am writing to thank you and your team and give a brief introduction of my interview. It was in this afternoon and Igot the offer at the end of interview. The position is Audit Associate of a Singapore audit firm.( l! c1 b/ m- v9 ^9 M' R" c
$ x& `( U- D% d( P. {
Before the commencement of the interview I was asked to finish a quiz about some transaction journals. The interviewer took away my quiz paper after I finished, so when I was filling the Application Form he was reviewing my quiz paper.At the beginning of the interview, I was asked to introduce myself.Even though I practiced my self- introduction many times, I was still very nervous. In the self-introduction I emphasized my internship experience with your firm. I said that I learned how to apply accounting knowledge into real business situations during this internship and I took accruals as an example. I also mentioned that it enhanced my knowledge ofMYOB Accounting Software and Microsoft Excel.The interviewer told me he knew I did rehearsal and he would like to give me some credits.
- n0 y1 m, ALY9 ~4 b$ dThen he told me I did well in the quiz and discussed the mistakes I made. Later he asked me some questions regarding Singapore Accounting Standards. Very fortunately, I started to study ACCA paper P2 (Corporate Reporting- Singapore Variance) three weeks ago so I managed to provide solutions.The interviewer pointed out that they wanted to hire a Singaporean or PR but he still arranged this interview because of my academic result in UNSW.He said he rarely gave offers straight away but he was really impressed by my performance in the interview and quiz.So he offered me this position at once.I will start work after the Singapore immigration office issued the work Consent letter to me which probably will take one week.

I would like to personally thank you for helping me out with my position as a Payroll Officer at this Drivers recruitment company. I wish to tell you that you guys are amazing and that this internship worked wonders on preparing me for the interview as well as the job. So thanks a trillion again. :)

# S- x( |! I5 i* a: U( X: [About this Drivers recruitment company, its a medium sized company dealing with recruitment of commercial truck drivers carrying various grades of licenses. The head office is located in Brisbane at Underwood where the main operations, IT, technical, Payroll and Accounts are based. I am in the payroll division as a Payroll Officer and closely work with the Accounts payable Officer, Senior Accountant and Operations Manager.4 V* f$ b3 o( i. rk0 ?3 M
; k, t8 z: _( M
The job description for a new comer like myself is to first familiarize with the system which is an in house developed software called DriverPop that is comprehensive and quite user friendly. I won't shy away from saying that it is very different from Myob and to get used to it takes quite a bit of time, but once the flow is reached, it becomes easier. The tasks are on time constrained and everyday the work is cut out for me like every other job.

The interview was informal and brief with generic and behavioral questions like why would you like to be in this job? how do you behave in a conflict environment? Would you consider yourself to be detail oriented person? etc. The answers are not definitive and they differ from person to person. My mantra was not to say yes to everything, but mix a largely positive answer with a bit of negative so that they can understand that you are not perfect but are willing to learn. For eg: The interviewer asked me that what was the most negative aspect about myself? and I said "Confidence". It was the truth but also the right answer because I would like to sharpen my confidence and people skills more. My questions were not very much accounting based but even generic questions can be the decisive factor.
