The interview process was very smooth and one of the best I experienced. It was simply a first phone screening, talking for about 5 to 10 minutes about why I wanted the role, how I found my studies in accounting, and so on. Then a second phone screening with another person from HR with similar questions, but this time I was prepared and allowed to ask my own questions too. After that, a third in-person interview was conducted at the office with one of the partners and one of the managers. It was just me, the partner and the manager. The partner was very friendly and simply had a conversation with me, about both the role and why I wanted it, but also just about me as a person in general, how I found university, what I do with my free time, any stories from my days in retail, just a simple 30 minute get-to-know you kind of chat. I will never forget it, it was actually pretty fun.
In the interviews I was asked the usual questions such as why I wanted the role, what I expected I would be doing day-to-day, how I found the classes I took in university, if I had a problem with team members what did I do and so on. I was also asked just general questions about my life, hobbies, aspirations, what I thought about work in general and so on.
I would recommend that they come as they are rather than what they think the firm would want. SW is great at allowing different individuals to learn and feel welcome while being themselves. I would also recommend that they come ready with many questions, as the people at SW are always willing to answer questions and to help everyone learn and grow as much as possible.
