Just today (8th Nov 2021) morning, I had one interview and my eleven (11) years old daughter yesterday asked me to go through this video as preparation for the interview. One key point I remembered from this video was where it says that a Finance Analyst should ensure source data is reliable and /or accurate – and when I mentioned this point during the interview, the hiring manager seemed impressed! Can't thank you enough here as I now have good chance of securing the job (pending some background checks)!
this is not for entry level just out of college applicants. This is for someone who has been in a finance field of accounting field that wants to become an analyst. Doesnt really help a all
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've interviewed many times, there is no way anyone speaks this correctly unless you are an introverted super geek. This is far from reality.
Thank you so much for this. One of the best and channels and videos I have come across. Much appreciated.
this video is great am about having an interview even if i dont get this job but the video will surely help me in my next job or some day some how
It was really use ful tutorial . a personally likes the videos. Thank you so.much
I got the job thanks to your videos
I was asked on my interview on the turnover and my answer wasn’t very clear as I wasn’t comfortable to share the company financial, and I think I will fail the interview
I would suggest the better answer is cash flows from operating activities as a stronger answer than simply cash flows. All GAAP based statements of cash flows clearly show cash flows from operating activities in their reports.
This is quite helpful for me to prepare for an interview. One thing in mind is that for strengths and weaknesses question should reflect on a honest, organic answer from the interviewee themselves. Anyone can detect artificiality in the answer. Overpromising but with a risk of underdelivering.
Got my interview tomorrow, definitely feel a bit better prepared now I’ve watched this, brilliant analysis and explanation throughout the video. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Sir please upload about trade finance
I think you r the best job interview channel on Youtube so far.

Hi. Regarding this Q&A, It believe in the non profit sector will be a little bit different. a company’s ability to generate value. So, essentially, a healthy NET CASH FLOW demonstrates
Thank you so much Mr Richard🙏
Your video helped me to understand what l was doing wrongly during my interviews, now I am more confident with my responses.
Great video. Ive slowly improved my interview skills with these videos you have made. Before practice, I would make my interview answers more submissive and in a third person tone. But now my answers are more affirmative and has a lot of key words such as 'I believe I made the correct decision,' instead of 'I felt/think.' I then follow this up with reiterating my strong affirmative set of beliefs I have and which I followed, which gives the interviewer a subtle tone that I am consistent with my phiosphy in a workplace. This comment may seem bone dry, but key words make a huge difference in interviews, and be affirmative = it helps show you are confident.
I really appreciate this questions and answers for this role, I’m a first time subscriber, and I’ll definitely be on your channel. I have interview next week, it’s been a while since I had one and especially the role . Thanks again
