4 :: Explain me do You Communicate Effectively?
Although there is a good possibility that you will work in a back office as an accounting clerk, you may be required to work at a front desk for a company and combine your accounting skills with administrative knowledge. In either case, good communication is essential. If you have worked in a customer service position in the past, now is a good time to mention that. Also, you may choose to provide an example of a situation in which you were able to resolve a disgruntled client or customer’s issue simply by being sensitive to his or her needs and anticipating the expected resolution.

7 :: Tell me what kind of salary do you need as Bookkeeping Clerk?
A loaded question. This is a nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

8 :: Why are you interested in working for (the company interviewing you)?
Almost every company, regardless of size, has a Web presence now. So answering this question is just a matter of doing a little research beforehand. Find two or three things that impress you about your prospective employers and be prepared to express those thoughts in a matter of fact way. This is a great way to prove your interest and it lets employers know that your desire to become a member of the team isn't only about the paycheck.
9 :: Why do you want to work as Bookkeeping Clerk?
This question is difficult. You can hardly find something motivating about this job… However, you should not say an employer that you just want to have any sort of administrative/accounting job, and that’s why you apply for this one. As a good applicant, you can mention that you like math, that you are very detail oriented and prefer routine jobs. That’s the reason why payroll clerk is a good choice for you.
