Reminder – Get ready for your fall recruit interviews – Upcoming workshop for fall recruit on Monday, September 12th

As a reminder, DAP career coach, Russell Garrett, is holding workshops on the upcoming fall recruitment cycle for pre-approved program route (PPR) positions. The majority of public practice accounting firms will be hiring through this cycle, so if you are interested in working in public practice and will be ready to start a full-time role in 2023, attend the upcoming sessions to learn more and build your foundation for a successful recruitment experience!

The final workshop in this series will be on interview prep, held on Monday, September 12th, 4:45 to 6:15 pm PT, with the option to attend in-person and virtually:

When PPR firms respond to applications and invite candidates to interview with them, there is always a mixture of excitement and nerves. Whether the interview is by phone, video recording, live video, individual, panel, conversational, or structured you will need to be ready for any and every eventuality. Then, as you move on to second level interviews you will need strategies to perform even better than the first phase. Learn how to plan to meet recruiting staff, staff accountants, managers, senior managers or partners, which are all possible during the PPR interviewing process. Be prepared for and make the best of each opportunity by understanding what firms are expecting and how to construct 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 and increase their interest in making an employment offer.

Registration for both of these workshops is now open on COOL – you’ll have the option to select either in-person or virtual attendance.
