Totally depends on the role. Focus on your skill set and how it’s transferable. Attention to detail, thinking of ways to improve processes, hitting deadlines, prioritization without being nudged by your boss, etc.

What’s the industry? Size of company? Strategy? Having these in mind can help for me to understand what sorts of reports management wants. I think knowing these before going in would help me to really get a good feel for what a good chunk of the job entails

Seeing your title is currently accountant, typically though for financial reporting, your main focus might include P&L, BS and CF. Be sure to understand the connectivity of these 3 primary financial statements, and that should help you with technical part of the interview. Also, as a general rule of thumb, you’ll probably be partnering with folks from different departments for gathering data/providing support. Just a thought, but depends on role.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.
