I went for an interview and one of the interviewers was like "So you say you are chartered, where is ur certificate".
I replied,"I just got chartered and until I attend my induction later this year before I will be given a certificate".


The next statement that came out of his mouth was the most idiotic statement that someone who claims to be a professional should. His response was ''Then you are not yet a chartered accountant''. He went further to brag about his certificate and that he also lectures. I simply replied again that whether or not u have been inducted, once u pass ur qualifying exams that is the most important part.


I find it hard to believe that someone within the age of 30-35years could brag to another that he is older than by 10years or more of his ''superior'' chartered accountant status. Take it or leave it there are young scholars these days that get qualified at age 20. While some people are busy equipping themselves with other certifications, some are standing on their roof tops and parading themselves as local champions.
