Meeting a VP with a tax orientation

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛What always helps you is your confidence and clarity in communication.

1. Never ever underestimate the power of ice-breaking and a brief self-introduction.

2. Be prepared that VP will actually do the most talking in many cases. You need to have good listening skills and respond when necessary. Need good skills in calmly and confidently expand a little bit on a few things he/she mentioned. Listen! Just listen well and you will know what to talk about next. It is useless to panic.

3. As others have mentioned, research his background, grab a significant achievement he/she has and be prepared to compliment her/him on it and absorb his experience in this areas.

4. Key tax-related topics: know how to reconcile from accounting income to taxable income - this is core knowledge; HST remittance and process and timeline around that; GAAP section on recording tax liability and expenses on an accrual basis, very technical, but know a few things in general. Don't kill yourself with the techical details. The important thing is to talk about few things you do understand, and others you look forward to learning further and why you think knowing more is important in the context of the company's business.

5. Never ever forget: this is an INTER-VIEW. It is a dialogue, not a verbal examination. Talk about something a bit personal, establish rapport, and there you go!

Good luck!

    • 自己up一下,请大家帮帮忙吧!谢谢谢谢!
    • 昨天去面试了,见了HR和Financial manager,问了工作经历和一些behavioural questions,今天被通知,明天要二面,见financial manager 和VP finance.麻烦各位大侠给些建议,二面会问些什么问题呢?十分希望能得到这份工作,请大家帮帮忙,十分感激!
      • 个人感觉就是2面时VP看你爽不。若你一面FN manager对你已经满意了。。最终你也会跟着FN manager而已。
        别告诉我公司是ATS
        • 谢谢Jessie。不是ATS,我在ottawa。 一面的时候,hr和FN manager 并没有提到有二面的事情,只是在快结束的时候,大肆的赞扬了一下vp。今天早上,我给hr和fn manager 发thanks letter, 才收到hr的回信要安排二面,觉得很诡异。
          vp似乎对tax颇有研究,但是我做tax并不多,不知道会不会栽在vp的手里。Anyway, keep my fingers crossed.
          • 先预祝你成功。。
            上linkedin看看他、她背景嘛。。有时候VP背景比较强悍。。一看他就知道你是否他想要的。。几乎就那么头1-3分钟他就定下来了。。FN manager有点像夹心饼干的感觉。。
            • 去linkedin查过了,没有特别详细的说明,不过他在tax和treasury方面比较强。一面的时候hr和fn manager一共聊了1个小时,二面半个多小时,基本上都是在说。
              问了我几个简单的问题:现在工作的描述;现在老板对我的评价;现在同事对我的评价。因为这些问题一面的时候都问过了,所以自己觉得回答的还比较轻松,回答得时候还补充了一些一面时不够详细的东西,更靠近新职位的要求。至于vp对咱满不满意就不得而知了。
          • 渥太华是好地方,MM懂法语?
            • 和大都市比起来是小农村,呵呵!不过比较宁静。我不怎么会法语,以前学过几级,总是不用,忘得差不多了 :(

            • 顶!I have to admit that I enjoyed reading every single one of your threads, can always learn something new... please keep posting! :)
            • 多谢前辈,收了。其实我觉得楼主出了一个很好的题目:如何根据工作描述来确定Tasks,以及面试重点.各前辈有空的时候写几句呗
            • Very very good points! Thanks a lot.
            • 谢谢前辈写了这么多,受益匪浅。
              前辈说的不错,基本都是vp在说。我尽量在他停顿的中间和他做一些交流,表达我对与tax的兴趣以及我的学习能力,在表述我所做的和tax有关的工作时,我觉得说的还算清楚吧,也有一些你来我往的讨论。

              因为一面快结束的时候hr和fn manager大赞了vp,我二面的时候,就以此为理由,表达了一下对vp的仰慕。

              二面的时候,vp来之前和fn manager拉了拉家常,整个二面过程中fn manager什么问题都没有问,说一面的时候已经问得很详细了。
    • 哪个国家的VAT?
      • 不知道:( 他们也没有特别提,不过他们比较关心美国的tax,我在想vat不会是中国的吧!
    • 今天早上上班,下午忙着面试,晚上才看到大家留了这么多言,实在是太感动了。谢谢大家了。
      结果下周出来,不管结果如何,我都会上来汇报一下的。尽人事,听天命。

      祝大家都过个愉快的周末!
