2013 Recruitment Tip #3: Attend Meet the Firms/Accounting Career Day


It is important for an accounting student to never understate the value of events that allow you to meet firms and other professionals.  Ranging in size from small affairs to conference hall filling extravaganzas, these events are designed to bring students together with professionals from a variety of public, private and governmental firms. It offers a great opportunity to hear from professionals from a variety of areas. It may allow you to hear about a career opportunity that interests you. Many universities offer these types of events called “Accounting Career Day” or “Meet the Firms.” Numerous professionals from the surrounding areas attend, hoping to find interns or even future employees. Many firms attend during their recruitment process and it gives students an opportunity to meet them before on-campus interviews. You should always bring you resume and business cards because you never know when an opportunity will present itself! Be ready to learn about firms that you find interesting.
