<br />@ faizicapri, thanks for the information. Creating deferred tax asset maybe one way to minimize losses, but it's not the only way, is it? What was wrong with my answer, that reducing costs and expenses could help minimize losses? The thing is that I did manage to answer all questions the partner asked me and the answers were not too far away from what he was telling me. The only difference is that his answers were more professional, with he mentioning all the relevant standards, and I was explaining my answers in my own words. But the main idea was there. I am not expecting any call, because I was rejected outright. But Paradigm could get one. I assume he is on the waiting list. They are inducting 35 trainees. If they don't find 35 suitable ones, then Paradigm might get the call. And there is another thing I'd like to ask you, the partner told me that I don't have enough knowledge and if he sends me to the client then I won't be able to carry out the audit properly. My question is that do these firms send out trainees to carry out the audit? I mean isn't that too risky? Because trainees, no matter how knowledgable they are, in the end of the day are trainees. They are not professionals. They are still learning the trade. Don't these firms send a professional auditor to the client and some trainees with him so those trainees can see how the auditor is carrying out the audit and learn from him? Because I believe that's how you learn, by working with the professional and closely observing him. I asked the same thing to the partner, and he didn't answer me. He just shrugged it off, and said that he is not impressed with my knowledge and he can't hire me.
@ RakeshKumar, do prepare the questions I have mentioned. Chances are that he'll ask you same questions, if he asks any. If you don't have a referrence and you cleared the test, you are in. The partner will not ask you any technical questions. Just normal conversation and he'll give you the contract. But if you do have a referrence, then what you need to do is downplay it when the partner mentions about it. Confidently, just tell him that you wrote the details of the referrence on the application form just for the sake of it, and the referrence wasn't much helpful. Try to downplay the influence of it. Good Luck !!!!
