I assume that you apply for the position of audit associate. During my interview, no technical question was asked and basically it is just a chit-chat season so that the employee know you better. If you want to prepare for the interview, maybe you can google some famous interview questions such as "Told me about yourself" and others.

If you apply for tax position, i heard that you will need to write one essay first before the interview.

Good luck.

My tips for interview. Go in with a prepared but open mind. Dont memorise your answer and just answer accordingly. Be truthful cos no point lying to yourself so you can get the job and suffer horribly later. When people asked whether can you work late or willing to travel and you answer passionately yes but later failed to do so, it will leave a bad stain.

From most of the advisory freshie collegues, they tell me their job for first few weeks / months is quite relaxing and easy. Its when you reach senior level then work gets interesting. Anyone can correct me I am wrong though tongue.gif

You seriously wants to stay at Damansara heights area ? If you not willing to pay > RM 1,000 rental forget about it. And like thanatos said, find out who your client is and find a place there if its a major recurring engagement. 90% of my time is spent at client place which is the opposite direction from HQ.
