               General Questions
               1.  Why are you interested in the Financial Analyst role?


                 The requirements are a great fit for what he would like to pursue.  He is currently self­
                 employed and would like to get back to a team setting.  He has family in Lake Arrowhead and
                 loves the west coast.


               2.  Please tell me about your current position and its day­to­day responsibilities.


                 Tom does more macroeconomics than micro.  He is an Excel expert and tracks world currency and the
                 daily fluctuations that identify opportunities to profit from trades.  He has extensive workbooks set
                 up to help him track those changes and where profit can be made.  At the end of the day, this is
                 something that he can automate and make a lower­risk profit while getting back to a full­time role.


               3.  What do you know about the City of Big Bear Lake and the Department of Water and
                 Power?

                 He is familiar with the area and the public sector, but not with the department itself.  He has
                 work with Baltimore Gas & Electric and his skillset is transferable which is something he
                 found as a consultant between the NSA and their vendors.


               Position Specific Questions

               4.  What relevant accounting experience do you have that would allow you to succeed in this
                 role?


                 Has thoroughly accounted for every dollar the government allocated to vendors.  Tom was
                 responsible for the auditing of the budget from federal contracts.  He has performed auditing
                 contracts with Pricewaterhousecoopers as a consultant.  Tom believes in technical solutions to
                 streamline accounting and can do the heavy lifting through Excel.


               5.  How do you prove you are the right candidate and will be a long­term fit?


                 Tom wants a long­term fit with job security.  He wants to be close to family on the west coast and be
                 in his next job for 35 years.


               6.  What do you consider to be your greatest professional strength?

                 His greatest professional strength is his ability to adapt to different personalities and work
                 effectively with anyone.
