Interview Process Guide

Review the Role Thoughtfully

Take time to review the job description in detail. Be prepared to speak to:
– Why does this role interest you
– How does your experience align with the responsibilities
– What skills do you believe will help you succeed in this position
We’re not looking for perfection, we’re looking for clarity and intention

Learn About Who We Are

We value candidates who understand who they’re applying to work with, not just what they’re applying for. Before your interview, familiarize yourself with:
– Our mission and values
– The services we provide
– The type of clients we support

You should feel comfortable explaining who Burke Financial is and why our work matters, just as you would to a future client or partner.

Prepare Real-Life Examples

Our interviews are largely behavioral-based, meaning we’ll ask you about real situations you’ve experienced. Be ready to share examples that highlight:
– Problem-solving and decision-making
– Communication and collaboration
– How you handle pressure or challenging situations
– Times you’ve supported others during stressful moments

We care about how you think and how you show up, not just outcomes.

Come Ready to Ask Questions

Interviews are a two-way conversation. We encourage you to ask questions about:
– The role and team dynamics
– Training, support, and expectations
– Growth and development opportunities
– What success looks like in the first 90 days

Thoughtful questions show curiosity, preparation, and alignment

Have References Available

If you move forward in the process, we may request professional references. Please be prepared with:
– At least three references
– Individuals who can speak to your work ethic, professionalism, and collaboration

We value transparency and long-term fit, references help us better understand how you work with others.
