It was very quick and easy. I applied online through ASU's Handshake website and after my application was accepted, I was offered an on campus interview. After the on campus interview, I was given an offer immediately upon finishing the conversation. I asked if I could have more time to decide and they emailed me all the information I needed and gave me another three weeks to decide.

Question 1
Tell me of a time you were on a team and things didn't go well and what happened?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ProVision Wealth (Tempe, AZ) in Nov 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for a tax staff position with this firm. The overall process consisted of 2 interviews, with the second involving a lunch with some of the team members.
The first interview was with 2 partners. In this interview I found out what the firm did, how they worked, what they were looking for, etc. and discussed my background and what I wanted. The standard interview. It lasted about 45 minutes and within about 30 minutes I received a call from the recruiter saying they wanted me back for a 2nd interview with lunch.
The second interview happened a week later. I first met with a partner and a manager. As I had not previously met with these individual, they had me again go through my history and what I was looking for. They told me what they were expecting from the individual. This went for about 30 minutes. After this was finished, I went to lunch with some of the staff and they told me about the firm from a “staff perspective.” Lunch went for about an hour and everyone was very friendly. Later I got a call from the recruiter saying they were extending an offer at the rate I was requesting so I took the job.
Overall a laid back process and I didn’t feel like I had to jump through hoops.

Question 1
I was asked how my career goals aligned with this firm’s missing (wealth and tax strategy).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ProVision Wealth (Firma, MO) in Jun 2014
Interview
I was recommended through a recruiter who assured me my qualifications were top notch. At interview I was kept waiting quite some time. During the interview, they kept looking around and yawning although I enthusiastically presented myself with variable tone and gestures. I've spoken publicly and consulted with other firms and have never had that done to me. Upon asking my questions, the managing partner took the opportunity to disparage all other CPAs and egotistically inflate himself. When asked about the founder Tom Wheelwright, he arrogantly stated Tom had nothing to do with the firm anymore, and that he "thinks he lives under a bridge over there." How hilarious (sarcasm), especially since Tom is well respected as part of Robert Kiyosaki's network of Rich Dad advisors. The managing partner Rob then ended the interview abruptly and ran out of the room without so much as a goodbye or thanks for my time. I guess only his time was important since he could come late and leave rudely in haste. I emailed a thank you and got no response. They didnt even have the courtesy to tell the recruiter, until much later and upon persistence, the status of the job offer. When I asked the recruiter for feedback, I was told there was none and that they wouldn't give any. As a respected professional in the community here, I really was hoping to add my credibility and expertise to a team of advisors I respect. Instead, I was left shocked at the attitude and unprofessionalism that has been allowed to be attached to ProVision's good name and Tom's credibility as a Rich Dad Advisor. If the culture there is anything like the tone at the (managing partner) top, then not getting an offer is just as well; my values of humility, integrity, and respect don't resonate with the culture I experienced in this interview.
