    Work in Progess

    Can anyone out there help me?

    I am going for an interview for a job which involves Work-in-progress accounting. Although I have many years accounting experience this is an area I have never been involved with in my past work history.

    I have done a little research on the Internet but I need to be ready for any questions so that I dont come across as an airhead.

    What questions should I expect and in order to seem a little in the know, how should i answer?

    Also this is my first post, so please be gentle with me.

    HELP!

    You do understand that this is a forum for freelancers/contractors, largely (but not exclusively) in the area of IT?

    Otoh, many of us are experts in blagging. In your position, I'd find a good book, do some of the exercises, look incredibly confident, and not mind if I got caught!
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
