What kind of questions will employeers ask at an interview?
Answers:
Go to the company's website and do some research about what they do.
When they ask you about where you'd like to be in 5 years, don't say sitting on your side of the desk.
You have the education & desire to bring fresh ideas that would bring a positive impact to the company.

Employers are all over the board on this issue. Some will chat you up about personal things. Others will spend time talking about their company. Others still will ask strange questions about hypothetical situations to see how you would react.
The bottom line is that they are looking for honest and dependable people who will show up for work and get along with others without breaking the bank. Mostly they need to be convinced that you are easy to work with and willing to be flexible.
Most employers don't want to hear too many details about your life that are not important to the job. They also don't want to hear that you are desperate for A job as opposed to being interested in THEIR job. Also you should keep your dreams to yourself if they include doing something other than working for the prospective employer.

In my experience, the first thing employers ask is almost always "tell me a little about yourself." Make SURE that you have something prepared for this question, and that it is focused and concise. Other common ones are: What are your strengths; What are your weaknesses; What makes you a a good candidate for the job, Describe a situation in which you faced a challenge and how you overcame it.
Most of the questions that interviewers ask are incredibly broad; the key to being successful in interviews (aside from being poised and well-spoken) is to answer them as specifically as possible--providing concrete examples of how your previous behavior, work, and performance proves that you are capable of handling the duties that the job requires. Saying vague things like "I'm a hard worker" or "I work well with other people" will not seperate you from other candidates; using concrete examples will.
First of all, I would research the company to find out about it and see if you would like to work for them. Knowing about their clients, the size of the company, their history, and policies is a necessary thing. They will probably ask about your skills and if you consider yourself a team player, if you prefer to work alone or with supervision. They may ask about your school record. Have a resume prepared that details your qualifications. You will probably need to have a good working knowledge of computer programs as well.
Well this answer is just basically for general interviews. I am no accountant by any means but I have been on quite a few interviews. The best way to prepare is basically to answer the questions in "text book" form as I like to call it. When they ask you a question like, if you found out that another employee who is at a higher level than you is stealing money from the company what would you do. Now most people would be inclined to say something like mind my own business and let them get caught on their own but of course that is not the answer any employer would want to hear. You would say, I would let a manager or supervisor know about my suspicions and tell them that it's just an observation that you made and if possible you will try to get evidence proving your statement if they would like you to. Just try to answer as honestly without sounding too "text book" as possible. They may ask you why should we hire you or what makes you the best candidate for the position. This is when you get very articulate and make sure you tell enough of yours best skills and qualities that make you stand out from the rest of the potential employees. Don't be afraid to be somewhat humorous and even a little witty. This is also a very good strategy in making you stick out in there minds once they are doing their reviews of resumes. But don't over do it. You don't wanna seem obnoxiuos. Make sure you have a resume with you in case they need it. I know they will ask you a lot of questions pertaining to "what if" scenarios so, just be ready with the best "text book" answer you can get out and don't be afraid to think about your answer for a second before you just start talking because you are afraid of akward pauses. You just need to feel like you are in control of the interview because you are. Its YOUR interview. If you control the pace at which its going you will feel more comfortable about the whole situation and start to relax more, which will let more of your personality shine through than just telling them what you think they wanna hear. I hope this helps.
