CPA Spring Recruit is in full swing and the majority of national firms have posted their Spring Recruit positions now (available on COOL). If you are planning to apply for positions this Spring, please make sure to read each posting carefully as each firm will set its own application deadlines. The only common date for Spring Recruit that the firms are required to adhere to is the offer acceptance deadline of June 29, 2018. For more information on this, please see 2018 CPABC Post-Secondary Recruitment Framework.

If you’re not sure whether you should be applying for jobs this spring or if you’d like more information about recruit, please see CPA Recruit.

To help you prepare for Spring Recruit, we encourage you to take advantage of the following opportunities:

• CPA Recruit Overview Workshop on May 16th, 4:30 pm to 6:15 pm
  This workshop is an introductory session to the CPA Recruit process and is primarily meant for students who are new to recruit and are planning to apply for jobs in the Fall. However, students who have been actively engaged in Spring Recruit are welcome to attend for a refresher.
• Interview Workshop on May 28th, 4:15 pm to 6:15 pm
  Learn how to make first and lasting impressions through what you say and do. The various types of interviews the Firms are known to use and why they use them will be highlighted along with best practices to prepare for every possible scenario. Anticipating firms’ expectations, creating “talking points”, preparing questions for interviewers and tailoring your responses will all be addressed so you can put your best foot forward. You will discover how to prepare for open-ended, behavioural, value-based and case-based questions to help you make the greatest possible impact on your interviewer(s). You will leave the workshop with tools for interview success along with strategies for follow up to protect the investment you made to secure them. 
  
• Application and Interview Prep Coaching Appointments – various dates in May and June
  Meet with DAP Career Coach, Russell Garrett, one-on-one for tips on preparing your application documents and preparing for interviews.

Registration for both the workshops and coaching appointments are now open on COOL.
