Time to Give your Career a Boost!
To ensure you feel empowered throughout your recruitment journey, we’ve developed Talent Boost! Talent Boost is a series of virtual events that we will be hosting throughout the summer where you can learn more about KPMG and the career opportunities available in Audit, Tax, Advisory and Digital. Each event will feature speakers from KPMG’s office in Vancouver who will present on topics, facilitate discussions and be available to answer your questions.

The July session will focus on the powerful use of storytelling. “Tell Me About Yourself” is one of the most commonly asked questions in job interviews. Composing stories to reveal your personal and professional self is just one way to use storytelling to propel your career. At our session, you will learn how to incorporate story techniques into your resume and cover letter.
