I had two interviews: 1. VAT Accounting Very good follow up by HR by telephone interview and scheduling a 2nd one with the managers two days later. This one took 30 min with a view meeting me on-site HESC, Swords (IRE) the next week. This meeting was very relaxed and they showed me around the office. The next was a telephone chat with local country Tax Manager. I guess this was to screen my skills in my native language. After all was done, crickets and finally standard answer. 2. Fleet Accounting I was contacted by Hertz HR whether I would interest in this position and received an on-site invitation straight on. Sadly this interview was less professional and strictly by some form that needed to be filled. I was interviewed by 2 employees (1 managerial position + 1 Snr Financial Analyst (KPI/Metrics focus)) . They started of by mentioning that they just finished their PMP qualification and how great that is. ---Btw neither of them have an accounting qualification/ finance college degree--- I have nothing against learning on the job, but still it is very hard to have a true grip if the theoretical foundation is missing like in the above two cases. Next was that the employee at managerial level told me that the role had changed. Turned out that it had very little to do with actual accounting but rather some sort of local country operational assistance with a hint of inventory accounting. All high value work are done by US Corp. or otherwise within the team but not the candidate in question. Then they went on with their little questionnaire/ standard questions that one finds in any HR book incl. the infamous "where do you see yourself in xy years". The best was that they got hung up with a gap in my CV... 10/12 years ago. Here we are talking about a couple of months are after graduation. Then they did not know what Erasmus exchange is, although every graduate under the sun since the early 90s knows this. The interviewers where not able to connect the dots between Erasmus exchange, meaning no employment but study abroad experience, and the supposed gap. I explain all to them but well their faces told the story. The interview room set up was quite dull, interrogation style and NO WATER OFFERED during a 1h "interview"! Never experienced a behaviour like that during my professional career. I lost interest after all of this and moved on. Guys welcome to the 21st century! An interview is not an interrogation like above felt like. However, the guy from HR does a fair job
