Nasty. If you don't recognise some of the terms, you could ask, unless you are expected to know what they mean and by asking, you are showing a hole in your knowledge.
When I worked in industry, and went for interviews, there would invariably be some technical terms which I didn't know. Many of them referred to internal systems and the interviewer didn't expect you to know them. But of course, if you did know them, you could get brownie points.

I am a Management Account. I have an interview on Monday. However I dont understand certain words in job specification. I have highlighted these in yellow (please see below). Can anyone explain what they mean please?
PCIDSS is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards which will refer on to the specific standards of the Card Industry such as UKIS and VIS.
If this is an Analyst job and they're looking for that one then if you don't have it the learning curve on that is very steep.
Good luck with the interview. There is always the chance that they are looking for someone that they feel that they could train into the role rather than someone who has the knowledge base already.
kind regards,
Shaun.
p.s. I thought that GTC was General Teaching Council but how does that fir in with the others? Is this a job with a management consultancy firm that you are going for and these are the industry sectors that you may be working in?

I am having doubts about this role now. It seems more like analyst role in contrast to an accountant role. I may not pursue this as it may hamper my accountancy career. I am already working as management accountant so I am not desperate to move on.
