The same goes in deciding whether to accept a job offer. <br /><br />It was easy for me to be myself with them which was great because they seemed to like me personality-wise. My concern was if I could get my experience across to them so it wouldn't matter to them that I wasn't a CPA. (I have been rejected before because of that). <br /><br />This is in stark contrast to another job interview where the interviewer just shot questions at me and was very cold in answering my questions. Our personalities didn't work together (I was told by a recruiter that "he's hard to read") and I wasn't interested in working there because of that.The Cooking Accountanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794068108852711711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-40428990976085125032009-05-14T13:25:00.000-04:002009-05-14T13:25:00.000-04:00It is an interesting balance between being humble ...It is an interesting balance between being humble and selling yourself. You don't want to sound overconfident or like a used car saleman but at the same time you have to shine. In many instances, if you have all of the necessary qualifications it all boils down to personality. Will your personality fit in with the team?Pink Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708646660259729336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-19518544776083862782009-05-13T18:43:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:43:00.000-04:00Thanks Melita :-)Thanks Melita :-)The Cooking Accountanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794068108852711711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189561280975257345.post-17239939803177482222009-05-13T18:33:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:33:00.000-04:00Thanks darkcloud.
