If you are applying for positions through Spring Public Practice Recruit (PPR), be sure to attend our upcoming workshops to get your applications ready and prepare for interviews.
Registration for the following workshops is now open on COOL:
- Applications workshop – Monday, May 17, 4:45 pm PT
When Spring PPR job postings begin to drop, the competition to land those limited interview spots begins to create a real buzz among the students pursuing them. Channeling that excitement and emotion into well prepared and specific applications will be your next challenge. Come learn how to make an impact with a results-oriented relevant resume and specific cover letters that will prove your understanding of the relevant skills, previous performance, and knowledge of the firms you will apply to. Discover how to frame all of this within the context of your own personal story, academic success and fit in your new career path as an accountant and aspiring CPA. You can leave this workshop knowing you have the tools to put your best foot forward with each firm you apply to. - Interviews workshop – Monday, June 7, 4:45 pm PT
As firms respond to your application and invite you to interview with them, you will need to be ready for any and every eventuality. Phone, video recording, live video, individual, panel, conversational, structured, screening, second level, recruiting staff, manager and partner interviews are all possible during the process of interviewing during this integral phase of the PPR process. Learn how to prepare for and make the best of each opportunity by understanding what firms are expecting and how to prepare your responses in an impacting way. Then, discover how to leave a lasting impression with your own prepared questions and a closing that will raise their attraction to you for another level of interviewing or compel them to make you an offer.
