I have an interview scheduled for an internal Sr. FP&A position. I have a high-level understanding of what FP&A does (since I work with them daily), but I don’t really know the day-to-day tasks. I’m interviewing with a few directors to discuss FP&A processes, team fit, business partnering and analysis. As I’ve never worked in corporate finance, I have no idea what FP&A process entails.

Any tips on how to prepare for that discussion?

Made it to the on-site round for a Sales S&O interview. However, both of the interviewers are Managing Directors of Sales. I thought they would be other S&O managers. How would this affect interview questions (e.g would GCA case studies be sales focused?) how can I best prepare for this given a lack of a sales background.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally.

I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you
