non-entry level interviews

[kooky cookie]

I'm curious about how interviews for experienced people differ from entry level interviews. Will the ASA/near ASA candidate get very specific questions about things you've worked on? What kinds of questions are asked?

What are FSA and higher level interviews like?

Thanks.

I've been asked very technical questions, even to interperet a firms val report. I had a coupleof exams at the time.

I would expect to be thoroughly tested as to my technical abilities.

In internal interviews for a higher-level position, I've been asked things like:

1. what direction do you think the company should be going
2. what do you think of xxx strategy
3. how would you deal with difficult staff/clients/etc., cite relevant examples you've had to deal with
4. how would you align your department
5. what existing contacts could you leverage
6. follow-up to one of the strategy questions, I was asked, "what would you say if i said that was the stupidest idea I've ever heard," said in a way that I was unsure whether it was a question or really what they thought.
