That&#8217;s why you&#8217;ve chosen to make a change, to take your skills and experience and apply them to something new. But this comes with a challenge. How can you convince an interviewer that you&#8217;ve got what it takes to make the switch?<\/p>\n<p>This is especially true for those of us who are more &#8220;mature.&#8221; There&#8217;s an old saying: &#8220;you can&#8217;t teach an old dog new tricks.&#8221; Well, your task in the interview is to show why this saying is wrong. And you need to demonstrate why an &#8220;old dog&#8221; brings a lot more to the table than a younger dog.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s lesson, we&#8217;ll rejoin Patrick, an accountant who&#8217;s interviewing for a position with an advisory firm. Frank and Nina are conducting the interview. We&#8217;ll hear Patrick demonstrate some key interview skills; he&#8217;s going to answer hypothetical questions, highlight transferable skills, and demonstrate research. He&#8217;s also going to make polite suggestions and ask good questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhy does Patrick talk about his work developing junior accountants?<br \/>\n2.\tWhat is Patrick&#8217;s suggestion about training and development?<br \/>\n3.\tWhat does Patrick want to know about the position?<\/p>\n<p>[tp
