I have an interview tomorrow!
So had a phone interview yesterday morning and got a call today for an interview tomorrow! I'm so excited but I'm meeting with the CFO! (for an accounting position). I am soo nervous now knowing I'm meeting with someone so high up.
I'm trying to think of things I may have messed up in the past with interviews. 1 think I know they will ask is why I am leaving my current position. The main reason is lack of work. I have only been here since January but new right when I started that it wasn't a right fit for me at all. I also don't like my supervisor. She tends to check every.single.thing.I.do. Makes me feel like she has no trust in me and like I have no independence. I know they say you shouldn't down talk your boss. What if they ask questions about her? Just say we get along great and leave it at that? Also do I say that I don't enjoy the type of work or is lack of work a good enough reason?
Re: I have an interview tomorrow!
Also, when they ask about strengths and weaknesses I am really torn. Strength - good computer and typing skills, hard worker and fast learner. Weakness - I don't like being bored. I like a job where I keep busy with a lot of work but I also realize I need to sometimes slow down and take my time so I do not make any errors.
Obviously worded a little different but are these somewhat good answers?
Definitely don't talk down about your boss. If they ask - which they probably won't - just say you have a professional working relationship. No one expects you to be buddy-buddy, but I definitely wouldn't bring that up.
I think your weakness is good, but the strength is kind of basic. I guarantee that everyone would say they're a hard worker and fast learner. And I doubt that your typing skills really matter all that much for an accounting position.
Your reason for leaving is fine. You've known it wasn't a good fit. Just be prepared to tell them why... and the boredom you mentioned is a pretty good reason, IMO.

Do not bad mouth her.
