I know that preparing for interviews can seem like a waste of time sometimes. In the basic sense, it is just having a conversation, so why not just go in with the attitude of: "I'm just gonna go in there, be myself, answer their questions with great stories, and knock the interviewer's socks off." And the answer is, because that probably isn't how it will go at all if you don't do any prep work, like having answers for common questions prepared.
There was a saying that we used in the Marine Corps: "It is easier to keep up than catch up."
Fall quarter hosts a huge recruitment rush (don't worry though - there are opportunities in the winter and spring too!), so it's good to be a well polished interviewee. I've decided to dedicate this blog post to sharing what I've found to be helpful while interviewing, and you'll get a few tips from Jenna Koch, another MAcc student that went through interviews this fall!
