Akin to the traditional elementary-school first homework assignment, I’m going to write about my summer spent in Battle Creek, Michigan, working in brand management for Kellogg’s. First of all, let me gush a little by saying that it was a fantastic experience!
At this point in the MAcc program, students are finishing midterm exams and are in the midst of first-round interviews for full-time positions at public accounting firms. The first seven-week term of the program been certainly been a whirlwind, so this is a good opportunity to sit back and reflect on all that has been happening as well as share some advice for future students.
Here are my 5 Recruiting Rs:
#1: Reflect
I'm an outlier. The average age of the 2012-13 class of SMF students is around 23 years; I'm 33. The average work experience of the group is about 1.5 years; I've been out in "the real world" for 10 years. So maybe it's just that I don't know any other way to approach this SMF thing than this: I plan to treat it like it's my job.
