"I initially started off as a business major. After I took my first accounting course, I discovered how much I enjoyed working with numbers and how good I was at it. So the switch to accounting as a career had to happen."

The interviewer wants to learn your motivation and goals for pursuing your career path. This will show what you are passionate about and how you will fit into the organization. Perhaps you chose a field that will allow you to help others, or you chose a career that will allow you to work with numbers or data, or you wanted a career that would allow you to protect people and property. Whatever your reason, share how you decided on your career, the purpose you hope to fulfill, and the impact you hope to make.

"I've always been good with numbers so pursuing a career as an accountant was an easy decision. I understand how important an accountant is to a business or entrepreneur as I help them balance their books, ensure their funds are spent and received properly, and more importantly keep them out of trouble with the IRS."
