KPMG Recruiting
There has been some confusion about KPMG recruiting for this fall. They have decided to wait until Winter quarter to hire for both SALT and ICS. That being said, they still consider this their recruiting season and want students to reach out to the professionals in the group(s) in which they are interested to explore in more detail what they do and whether the student would be a good fit.
PwC Application Deadline: October 4 at noon
Please note that I will need to receive your application materials for PwC no later than noon on October 4. Thanks!
LL.M. Resume Workshop: October 2, 2012
Holly Bennet, a career coach with the Center for Professional and Leadership Develpment, will be conducting a resume workshop for LL.M. students next Tuesday, October 2 from 12:30 - 1:20 in room 127. I highly recommend you attend. It's always helpful to learn what employers are looking for in a resume.
Accounting Firm Applications
This is just a reminder that the accounting firm applications have 2 separate parts: (1) you need to apply on the respective firm website; and (2) you will either need to apply via Symplicity (for Deloitte) or to me (PwC).
Please note that, if you haven't already done so, you will need to email the Center for Professional and Leadership Development (cpld@uw.edu) for your Symplicity login and password. Please don't wait until the last minute to do so!
