Tell me about yourself?
Why PA? Why tax/audit?
CPA status, plan to pass?
Why are you leaving/left your most recent employer.
Describe your work style?
Do you prefer remote, hybrid, in office, & why.

And for the love of God when the interviewer ask “do you have any questions for me” have a question or two prepared.

This. There won’t be any technical questions most likely at that level. Also make sure to be personable, this job requires good communication skills so don’t come off as a weirdo
