2014 Recruiting Tip #1: Be Sure to Apply for an Internship

Obtaining an internship is one of the most important steps you can take for finding work in accounting following your graduation. Studies show that graduates who did not take an internship in college have a higher unemployment rate than those who previously interned. This preference is understandable: Interviewing candidates is expensive, as is training them after hire. Those who have already experienced professional work through an internship are seen as easier to train. Interning will give you valuable experience in your career field that cannot be replaced.

This fall, Monroe Shine will be interviewing for 2015 Tax Season Internship positions. Please register through your college career center websites.
