First thing you do is relax
Be confident it's an interview not a court case
You will be asked questions about your level of expertise and being that this is your first the questions will most likely dwell on your qualifications
Expect informal questions too i.e are you single,can you commute to and fro to work,salary will come last so just chill
Good luck

In all my job applications that made it to the interview stage, I got an offer.

The mentality to getting an offer is acting like you don't need the job but your employers need you.

But how can you build this mentality, you may ask?

It's easy:
1. Do your research about the job. Then talk about what you're bringing to the table.

2. You need to know why that role is currently open. Ask them.

3. Research the closest competition to the company and try to figure out why they might be doing better than your potential employers. This will help you form better questions that will blow the mind of your interviewer.

4. The questions you ask are more important than whatever answer you might have crammed to reply to the interviewer. Trust me, they are going to ask a lot of people those same generic questions, and chances are you're not the brightest of them all. So ask questions that would lead to unique questions from the interviewer.

5. Don't overthink things, the interviewer is not against you, in fact, they hope to hire you. Just be yourself and talk to them like they are your colleagues.

Shalom.

Please do justice to your signature. My own little advice. Your employer might be here on Nairaland.

Subconsciously, it might affect you.

To the request: just be yourself, relax and don't attempt to be smarter than your interviewers.

When you don't know, just be forthright about it and show that you are eager to learn.

Most interviews are more about attitude than skills.

Congratulations first of all. Go through ur CV and ensure u have answers to everything whether true or lie u must have written there. Highlight ur strong points and let ur employer know u are the best fit for the position. Don't forget to dress smart and try fake smile 😁 once in a while. Not forgetting, research the organization and find out what their core values, vision and mission so u can Taylor ur responses to align with their vision and goal. Above all pray for grace and divine favor.

Go through the job description and familiarise yourself with the requirements. Use Saheb academy on YouTube for basic accounting practice. Use Ezikan academy for financial standards application. Know how to file VAT and WHT. Bank reconciliation knowledge will come handy too. Account receivable and payable etc. You should not have a problem.

Learn about the hotel. Gather as much info you can about the hotel. Let them see in your eyes and feel in your voice the passion you have for the position and the industry. If they ask you about you, answer as it relates to your course and the position and your strength/skills. You have be brief and unambiguous about it. If there's anything great you have achieved before, you can add it. Good luck

Convince your interviewer on why they need to employ you.
Research about the company and let them know how you could be an asset to them
Your strength should be been able to check leakages in financial cycle and honesty
Also how you can deploy ICT in your your job schedule
All the best

You may be interviewed by a professional in your field so relax and answer every question to the best of your ability.

Your experience in accounting: This question will likely be one of the first questions asked during the interview. The interviewer will want to know about your educational background and work experience in accounting.

About a time when you had to resolve an accounting problem: This question is designed to test your problem-solving skills. Be prepared to share a specific example of a problem you faced and how you resolved it.

Accounting software are you familiar with: Many accounting positions require the use of specialized software. The interviewer may ask about your experience with specific programs, such as QuickBooks, Xero, or SAP.

How you prioritize and manage your workload: Accounting positions often involve working with tight deadlines, so the interviewer may want to know how you manage your time and workload effectively. Be prepared to discuss your organizational and time-management skills.


GOODLUCK
