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!

What does the company in question do?

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!

WHS

BTW : many of us are experts in blagging, thats the understatement of the year!
