Interview
I was first Interview Initially by the HR recruitment team, and I find it easy at first since the first interview was more on about me and what I know about the company just like a survey question, though at the end they added some basic accounting term that I need to define. After I passed the Initial Interview, I was then advice by the HR to review and be prepared on my Panel interview which is more on technical and behavioral aspect. I find it difficult, because I can't recall all the terms that was being asked plus it add the pressure when I see that they are 6 people in the meeting who will Interviewing me, however I'm glad that they are all considerate. After that, I proceed to the Final Interview with the manager, and he said that I passed the overall interview.
