I have a job interview on Thursday for an accounts assistant position (industry, not practice), which will be the first interview I have gotten from applying for jobs since completing my AAT level 4 (and the first accounts job interview at all). According to the confirmation email, it will consist of a 40 interview followed by a 10 minute task. There wasn't any detail about what the task would entail, and I feel might have left it a bit late since getting the confirmation last week to suddenly email again and ask what exactly the task will be about now.
I did well in my AAT course (I passed and didn't need any resits at least), but certain topic I haven't touched on much for a while and I am a bit worried that I will get to the task and draw a blank without prepping a bit beforehand, but that's a lot to cover when you have no idea where to start. I have had a look through past forum posts, which suggest it will possibly be either a numeracy test or using Excel to enter formulae (which isn't much of a problem if I can refresh my memory on things like Vlookup and pivot tables).
Since it's only 10 minutes it's obviously not going to be anything very intense and work/data-intensive, but since I have finally gotten an interview I'd like to make sure I do all I can to make the best impression. If anyone has more experience or examples of what tasks like this involve, I'd really like to hear them.
