With school coming to an end, I'm hoping every one of you enjoy some well deserved down-time with your friends and family. Though during this down-time, there are plenty of ways you can begin to prepare for the fall recruitment season, giving you a leg up on the competition.
It's been a while since I have written a blog, but it is good to be back, and what better way to kick it off than to teach you the importance of your personal brand online, and the quick easy way to start building that brand.
With the addition of new Social Media websites almost weekly, (Facebook, Twitter, Google +, LinkedIn, Tumblr) just to name a few, we are starting to hear more and more about how you can establish your personal brand on these sites, and how corporations are looking to these sites as a quick way to learn some things about you that may have been missed on your resume.
I wanted to write a blog on some interview preparation tips, and some tips to guide you during the interview. In the first part of this blog, I provided the interview preparation tips, and in this blog, I'm going to unveil some of my advice for getting through the interview.
All you students going through recruitment right now must be very busy! Attending classes, information sessions, preparing for midterms, applying for jobs, and vamping up those resumes and cover letters. I wanted to write a blog on some interview preparation tips, and some tips to help guide you during the interview.
Interviews can be extremely stressful, and from my own experiences, the only way I found to reduce the stress level was to fully prepare for each and every interview.
This is the second installment to my blog on “How to Write That Job Landing Cover Letter and Resume”. The first part of the blog was focused on tips to writing the cover letter, and this week I will be focusing on providing you with resume tips.
Recruitment season is right around the corner! You can start applying to most firms September 4th and meet the CA event is just over a week away here in Edmonton. One of the most important skills you need to be successful during recruitment season is the ability to write a strong cover letter and resume. Michael wrote a fantastic blog about how our campus recruiters evaluate your resume and cover letters, but my hope is for this week to elaborate, and give you some strong pointers on how to write your cover letter, and next week, cover the important points on writing your resume.
I want to keep this blog rather short this week. I just thought I would discuss with you some of the PwC perks you should consider during recruitment season. With a big firm like PwC, they are able to offer many perks outside of salary and vacation time that not only motivates you to work hard, but perks that demonstrate that they care about more than just the quality of work we are providing. Some of the perks include the various social events thrown each year, our Acclaim Points System, and our Fitness Benefit Allowance.
Recruitment season is creeping up, and with that, you may have some questions in regards to what exactly are the differences between an international accounting firm, and a smaller accounting firm. My hope is to answer your questions, and provide you with what I believe are the main differences. Although I have never worked at a smaller firm, I will try my best to make this as unbiased as possible! I do have friends at smaller firms, and from hearing their experiences, if I had to pick the 3 most important differences, they would be the size of audits, the type of clients, and the availability of future job opportunities.
Last week, I discussed some of the benefits and drawbacks of the MPAcc program. This week, my focus will be on the CASB program. My hope is not to sway you one way or another, but to allow you to compare each program, and make the choice as to which one is better suited for you.
After blogging about how PwC supports their employees on the road to the UFE, I received an email that asked some more in depth questions about MPAcc, and I feel this could be the beginning of a great topic. I feel by informing you guys with the benefits of each program, and giving you the in-depth details, you will have the opportunity to choose the program that fits you best. As this is a big topic, and much can be said about the benefits and costs of each program, this blog will be divided into two parts.
