Phone or HR screen
Which accounting software have you used, and for which tasks?

Technical or skills round
What's your experience with SST and e-Invoicing?
Tip: Explain what you did in practice: preparing SST returns, checking tax codes, or submitting invoices through MyInvois. If you are still learning e-Invoice, say what you have read and done so far.
How do you handle a supplier invoice that doesn't match the purchase order?
Tip: Describe the three-way match (PO, delivery order, invoice), putting the invoice on hold, and contacting purchasing or the supplier before anything is paid.
Hiring manager
How do you prioritise when several deadlines land in the same week?
Tip: Give a concrete week: what you listed, what you did first (payroll and statutory deadlines usually come first), and how you kept your manager informed.
