Erm... I dont mean to be the spoiler but engineering to accounting?! Come on. Do you know what accounting entails? I wonder what type of accounting. Financial, management, cost, taxation, auditing, e.t.c. Accounting is very wide and for someone who has no prior knowledge of accounting, this interview is like a wild goose chase especially if you have a specific core accounting duty. Even cost accountants find it difficult to do taxation and so on. I wonder..I really wonder if you could really pull it of. This is not just about how you talk during the interview, note that there is actually a job to be done after that.

See, Soto sounds very stern about there being a job to be done, and he is right.
I hope you have a good plan about what you will do if you land this job.

it's quite scary when I think of it although I believe anything I can do anything I put my mind to. It's a trainee position so they want total rookies who are committed to pursuing that line and they will train. I hope I get the job, it beats staying at home.

Mr . Anonymous \ donmayor. Well, if it's a trainee position, you can go for it. I hope they tutor you real good.

I am so proud of you Senor Anonymous. You did it! I feel like I have watched someone growing up in front of my eyes. Now I can retire with a pleased mind.
