What this professional-services template covers
Accounting and advisory processes often run an online assessment, a video screen, an assessment centre, then manager or partner interviews. This template keeps those stages in order so you prep the format you were actually invited to.
Behavioural answers should show teamwork, integrity, and client empathy. Use STAR or SOAR and keep results concrete — deadlines met, errors caught, stakeholders updated.
How to practise
If your invite is OT / OA first, warm up aptitude before polishing stories. Then draft video answers and assessment-centre talking points in an interview workbook from Interview prep.
