done. and am content.
I utilized this video to prepare for my first Financial Analyst position. The hiring manager was very impressed with my interview. Received an offer for the position within 24 hours. Would recommend this channel 100%.
Awesome! Well done and thanks :)
Congrats bro!
Congrats
Normally interviews would take 2 rounds...
@@limwowo5902 Exact !!! i'd say at least 3 but well :D
Just wanted to inform everyone I got my first internship as a Financial Analyst because of this guy. I initially applied for Project Manager but they were impressed by my interview and recommended me to a different position. I am now watching this because I have an interview for a full time position. Thank you sir.
WELL DONE AND THANKS!!

Just today (8th Nov 2021) morning, I had one interview and my eleven (11) years old daughter yesterday asked me to go through this video as preparation for the interview. One key point I remembered from this video was where it says that a Finance Analyst should ensure source data is reliable and /or accurate - and when I mentioned this point during the interview, the hiring manager seemed impressed! Can't thank you enough here as I now have good chance of securing the job (pending some background checks)!
WELL DONE!

Thank you so much Mr Richard🙏
Your video helped me to understand what l was doing wrongly during my interviews, now I am more confident with my responses.
Wonderful! So glad I can help you practice and improve :) You got this!
Great video. Ive slowly improved my interview skills with these videos you have made. Before practice, I would make my interview answers more submissive and in a third person tone. But now my answers are more affirmative and has a lot of key words such as 'I believe I made the correct decision,' instead of 'I felt/think.' I then follow this up with reiterating my strong affirmative set of beliefs I have and which I followed, which gives the interviewer a subtle tone that I am consistent with my phiosphy in a workplace. This comment may seem bone dry, but key words make a huge difference in interviews, and be affirmative = it helps show you are confident.
You're absolutely correct - and sounding sure of yourself helps too. How will they believe it if you don't believe it about yourself? Great to hear though - sounds like you are well prepared :) all the best to you!

This is quite helpful for me to prepare for an interview. One thing in mind is that for strengths and weaknesses question should reflect on a honest, organic answer from the interviewee themselves. Anyone can detect artificiality in the answer. Overpromising but with a risk of underdelivering.
THANKS!

I would suggest the better answer is cash flows from operating activities as a stronger answer than simply cash flows. All GAAP based statements of cash flows clearly show cash flows from operating activities in their reports.

I was asked on my interview on the turnover and my answer wasn’t very clear as I wasn’t comfortable to share the company financial, and I think I will fail the interview
What the turnover was of your current company? Is this not public information?
@@CareerVidz I felt uncomfortable to share Howmuch is my company turnover with another company interviewer, I gave a random numbers and it wasn’t tally with the store locations breakdown!! I hope I don’t fail the interview 😔

Sir i got rejection mail from xl dyanamics. But frankly speaking i attended my test without any grammatical errors and simple words. Then what will be the reason behind rejection. Could i reapply for this before 3 months from another email address. This company was my only hope
Hi - I'm so sorry to hear that! In that situation, I would contact them and ask for feedback on why you were not chosen, and also ask if you can reapply/when. The reasons for rejection can be varied, so it is difficult to comment!
I wish you the best for the future!
@@CareerVidz ok sir. Thank you
@@CareerVidz what will i do sir. I attended the exam very well. But i don't know why they rejected me😭
this is not for entry level just out of college applicants. This is for someone who has been in a finance field of accounting field that wants to become an analyst. Doesnt really help a all
You mean it isn't helpful to you 😊 Plenty to take away for entry level from these answers and tips 👍 I also have this: ruclips.net/video/sleEVUxIFU4/видео.html

@@CareerVidz got it!
I've interviewed many times, there is no way anyone speaks this correctly unless you are an introverted super geek. This is far from reality.
Sorry to hear you think so! How would you answer these? 😊
@@CareerVidz Focus more on soft skills. Connecting with a person is more important than answering the questions. Having personal meaning behind why you are choosing to be an FA while blending it with functions of the job is better interviewing skills than those cold hard geeky answers that sound like you read them out of a handbook.
Zero..over confident reject
What makes you say that?
2 finance questions. BS
I have lots more great finance questions here to help you: ruclips.net/video/lQSVdohbQbc/видео.html
When's your interview? :)
Does someone really say these lines on an interview? Sounds like such canned lines
Don't watch them if they are no use to you.
If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing
@@aq3139 softie
Tell me a little about yourself:
"I am a dedicated, intuitive, and commercially driven fin-"
Interview is over. No one wants to hire a weirdo
Cheers expert.
@@CareerVidz If I’m conducting an interview this first question is just a litmus test to see if this person has soft skills. Can they smile, be personable, and communicate effectively. I’m not looking for someone to regurgitate a boiler plate sentence like this.
These answers are way too prepared. Organisations don't want this anymore its too dated. Interviews these days are more laid back and they want you to just speak off the top of your head not have prepared answers.
