Sample from Rahul, a B.Com graduate from Jaipur, in an off-campus interview
About 1 min 5 sec 150 words
Presentwho I am now
Good morning, sir, I'm Rahul Gupta, and I've completed my B.Com from a college in Jaipur. I'm comfortable with Tally Prime and Excel, and I want to build my career in accounts.
Pastwhat I have done
After my final exams, I worked for three months at a small CA firm near my college. I entered purchase and sales vouchers on Tally for about twenty-five clients and helped with their monthly GST returns. My supervisor checked my entries every week, and by the second month he stopped finding mistakes, which made me quite proud. I also learnt to ask when a bill looked odd instead of guessing.
Futurewhy this role
I'm applying for the accounts executive position because I want a company where I can work on regular books, learn TDS and move towards finalisation in a few years. I'm punctual and careful with figures, and I'm ready to work late during month-end whenever the team needs me.
Short version
Three sentences, for when you're nervous.
I'm Rahul, a B.Com graduate from Jaipur who knows Tally Prime and Excel. I spent three months at a CA firm entering vouchers and helping with GST returns for about twenty-five clients. I'd like to start as an accounts executive.
3 things to include
The software, by name
Say Tally Prime or Busy within the first two sentences. Accounts hiring checks this before anything else.
A task with a count
Twenty-five clients or a year of vouchers shows volume. Numbers make small work sound real.
Your accuracy
A line about how your supervisor checked your entries tells them you can be trusted with books.
2 things to avoid
Calling accounts 'just a job'
Say what you want to learn, such as TDS or finalisation. A clear next skill shows you plan to stay.
Vague praise of yourself
Skip 'I was a good student' and use the minute for the work you did at the CA firm.
