Behavioral Technical

The interview process was a great experience. It started with a phone interview with Christina, she was extremely helpful with explaining the job description and answering my questions. After the phone interview I was asked to attend the in person interview 3 days later. I was out of state, so I flew to Arizona to be there. My interview was with Ben and Raymond. They challenged me by asking great questions, and it took about 1 hour. They still had other candidates to interview at this time, so they could not make a decision until they finished all of their other interviews. Two weeks later I got the call that they offered me the position. Overall I think the interview experience with Optima Tax Relief was excellent.

My interview process had two steps. First, I had a phone call with Christina, who was really helpful and gave me a good rundown of the role and what to expect as a trainee and employee, including job duties, pay, and benefits. Then, I had a live interview at their office with some managers. It was a bit scary at first, but the interviewers were all very professional and nice.
