Financial Staffing Solutions | recruitment | accountancy recruitment | interviewKeen to be part of Financial Staffing Solutions’ growth, Darren has quickly recognised that our main strength is our people.  Aside from our dedicated recruitment team, we’re proud of the strong calibre of our applicants.  Darren’s looking forward to helping this talented workforce enhance their careers in the financial field.  He’ll also be working closely with clients to ensure a complete understanding of the businesses we recruit into and the vacancies we secure.

Within a broad range of relevant qualifications, Darren holds various chartered business and finance diplomas from his corporate days.  He’s highly skilled at helping businesses to reach their potential, and this is an area of his expertise that he’ll transfer to helping jobseekers achieve their dream roles.

Outside of office hours, Darren enjoys playing football, golf, squash and boxing – with several shiny trophies to boast about!  He’s also a talented musician, gaining singing and trumpet awards from the Royal Academy of Music.  And to top it off, he enjoys cooking!  But don’t expect a three course meal when you call in for your interview – although you can expect to see a jar of jelly sweets on his desk if you visit our Chigwell office – he can’t resist them!

Darren’s a fantastic financial mind, a brilliant advisor and an exceptional father.  What more could we ask of our new recruitment consultant?!

Financial Staffing Solutions | recruitment | accountancy recruitment | interviewWe’ve looked in depth at a couple of key interview questions: why should we hire you? and what can you do for us that other candidates can’t? The third question you must be prepared for relates to how well the interviewer feels you’ll fit into the team, company and overall culture of the organisation.  So, what are your key strengths? This question explores your personality.  Each company has its own culture, leading to a style of working and staff behaviour.  It’s like the proverbial jigsaw – this is the part of the interview where you can show you’re a perfect fit. Having done your homework, you’ll hopefully have gained at least a little knowledge about the company’s culture.  So thinking about your own personality, you can plan your answers in line with your interviewer’s expectations.  The following are typical examples of questions you can prepare for in advance.

  • How would you describe yourself?
    Show your passion for your work.  Describe yourself from a business perspective so the interviewer can feed off your enthusiasm. Focusing on your employment skills gives you the chance to show off the traits they’re looking for without taking it to a personal level.
  • How would your colleagues describe you?
    This is especially good if you’re shy about blowing your own trumpet. You can raise the key points of honesty, efficiency and a hard working ethic without feeling embarrassed.
  • Why do you think you’ll fit into our company?
    Having researched the firm, apply your strong personal skills to what you’ve learned about them.

Remember throughout that you need to build rapport with your interviewer. Demonstrating your enthusiasm for your work and the company will create a memorable bond that can score you interview points.  Give tangible examples of your knowledge and/or experience, show that you’re genuinely interested in working there, and – very importantly – smile! We’re always happy to offer advice on interview skills – call us before the big day on 020 8532 2644
