I applied online. I interviewed at Victory Records (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2017
Interview
Strange (negative) interview. Met with the staff accountant first, everything seemed to be going well. Was asked basic questions about my bookkeeping experience.
Then the visibly perturbed owner (T.B.) arrived, not sure if there was outside issues happening causing him to be stressed out or that's how he always is, but took a nosedive from there. Asked essentially the same question multiple times - somehow expressing an interest in music and learning the VR business (which again was not unpromted) was a serious detractor the owner of a record label. The last time he asked I gave a slightly different answer which he then tried to turn into some kinda "gotchya" and then a "well which one is it?" follow up. Couldn't get out of there quick enough.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your previous bookkeeping experience (AR/AP volume and account size, etc). First half was more conversational than a straight line of questioning.
How did you find this job listing? (T.B.)
What do you know about VR? (T.B.)
Are you looking for an accounting job or a music job? (T.B. - this is the one where I answered accounting to - I'm applying to an accounting job keep in mind - and he turned my previous answers back on me)
