CPABC has launched new resources for post-secondary students!
The first is a new webpage outlining the Journey to Becoming a CPA. Please take a look at the information provided in this webpage, as it outlines what you can do, as a post-secondary student, to plan your journey to becoming a CPA and be ready for the CPA Professional Education Program.
CPABC Student Recruitment also has a new booking system where you can book an appointment with a Student Recruitment Officer aligned with your post-secondary institution.
Fall Public Practice Recruit is in full swing. Public practice firms are offering recruitment events and activities across BC. Learn about getting hired for summer internships, co-op positions, and full time jobs after you graduate for 2023. Read through these events and register here.
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.
