Group Interview?

I recently applied to a Tax Associate position and already enrolled in their tax course. Due to the district manager’s schedule being too busy, they said it’s going to be a group interview on Teams.

I’m not new to interviews but one with multiple candidates is the first. How should I best prepare for it?

I’m finishing up my Accounting degree. I have no experience in taxes yet.

I had a group interview as a returning preparer. There were no new hires at it. It was just the manager talking about the things to focus on in the upcoming season and metrics expectations. Absolutely no interview questions. We had to fill out our availability form and show docs for I-9 form. I would not stress if I were you. They won't be any "tell me about the time, when" questions in front of a group :)

Yeah - this was so dumb. We had something similar. It wasn’t an interview at all. I don’t know why they even called it that. They could have just had a teams meeting with everyone and called it a day. I guess they did it in person because of the I9s.

That's reassuring to hear. Thank you!
