Interview questions
in 9 to 5
I have an interview today, I haven't been on one in quite a few years.
Currently, I am in public accounting, and have been for ten years. I really like my job however is its a deadend position as the company I work for is family owned and my employers children also work here and will be moving into the only position I could move into. So really there is no chance for advancement. When asked why I am leaving, do I just say for an opportunity that will provide career advancement?
Also, for my questions for the interviewer, is it acceptable to refer to a list I have made or do I need to just ask from memory?
Thank you!

Re: Interview questions
Career advancement is an acceptable reason for looking/interviewing elsewhere.
I'd bring a notepad and jot notes during the interview and have a few questions planned ahead of time to quickly refer to when the time comes.
Good luck!
the desire for career advancement -- without mentioning all the family business drama -- is a perfectly fine answer.
You can refer to notes about your Qs but you shouldn't be reading them.
I think it's perfectly acceptable to say you have an opportunity to take a position that has more opportunities for advancement. They know they are a small company, and I can't imagine they would hold this against you.
I think it's a good plan to have some notes in front of you with questions you could ask. Have several in case they answer some in the interview before they get to that. And agree with PP, notes are great, but don't read verbatim.
Good luck!
