Picking A Career That You Will Love

By Hedrick Lepsch


As you are attending one of the colleges in Flagstaff, you have probably spent a lot of time trying to decide what you want to do as a career once you graduate. Many people spend much of their precious time making sure they make the "right" decision.

Often times, accounting firms throughout Flagstaff, or any city, will take time to recruit students. As an accounting student, you want to be well aware of the recruiting process and it is important that you can hold your own while you are being recruited.

First, you should understand what most accounting firms are looking for when they are hiring students. You should be sure that you are able to work in small teams well and that you are able to show your interpersonal skills throughout an interview.

The majority of accounting firms are going to put you in a small group as soon as you are hired and they want to make sure that you are going to complement the team. You should be comfortable in groups and you should be okay with being a team player.

Throughout your education you also want to make sure that you understand how you are going to display your leadership skills. Take positions in school that will display your ability and your willingness to lead groups and don't shirk away from the responsibility these positions bring.

Many students do not realize that accounting firms will start looking for new recruits in the fall and they will hire the recruits for the next year. This means, at the beginning of your last year you should be making time to meet with firms and start getting your name out there.

It takes most people a few tries to get to a point where they have picked a job or career that they really enjoy. It is easy for college students to think they will be an exception to this trend and that they will pick the best career for them on the first try.

While you are talking with recruiting teams, you should get to know them as well as possible. More than likely, they are going to meet with and talk with a wide variety of students throughout the fall and it is important that they remember you.

If a firm publicizes that they are going to host an event for those that are interested in the company, you should go. Take time to get to know the people that you meet from the company and really get a feel for the company. Working hard at getting a job while you are going through school is going to be important. Don't shy away from this work and you will be happy that you took time to find a job that fits you well.
