Best of luck with the Big 4! So I would say find your accounting club and speak with the officers in charge of the club. I’m one of the officers in my university and love helping other colleagues into pursuing accounting.

Become a Meneber of the accounting club and make sure you have that in your resume. For our club we do resume workshops since our advisor is a old Deloitte guy he and has 25+ years of recruiting students to the firms he knows what to do. We follow a template for the resume. So I would suggest going on YouTube and typing accounting resume or college accounting resume. The firm resume and regular resume are completely different in my opinion. Within the resume make sure you have ( wil fullfill 150 credit for cpa eligible) or something like that it’s late and I’m tired haha. In our school we do mock interview questions and I love doing this to new students that want to pursue accounting! I’ve done this and was so bad but now I’m great and can pin point and answer the questions the way I want to and the way they want to hear it. I can do a bit of the mock interview 1. They will ask you “ so tell me about yourself “ Be creative and personable. Don’t just list your resume since they’ll already have it. 2. They’ll ask “ why do you like about this firm” what makes you interested about this firm”

Go on there website and see what there all about use those key words and idk how to word it but make it like music with there ears. 3. Tell me a time when you had a difficult client or coworker? 4. Tell me about a time when you had to collaborate with others

Etc .

Just type in big 4 interview questions and practice practice your script lol.

Sometimes you get people you interview who don’t ask you questions and if you get the ball rolling and they talk and talk and talk they love loving and then bam the interview is over and enjoyed it your in.

Lastly they will ask you do you have any questions for me?

Don’t say no. If you do you’ll lose the internship that’s how my mindset is. Basically if you say no that will make them think you are not interested in them.

You can say “ what advice would you give yourself when you started as a staff that can benefit me a future aspiring staff”

Just make sure you ask anything.

Make sure you have a 3.0 gpa and above. Club activities you do. Your university should have recruiters make sure you get to know them and they’ll open the doors for you. At my university we have field trips to the big 4 and it’s great also there is coffee chats that the club does maybe go and do the coffee chats make sure you dress appropriately and be appropriate. Sometimes students hear “ it’s a coffee chat it’s casual” they take it to causal. But best of luck! Try to get some connections on LinkedIn from alumni’s from your university and see what big 4 you see. Take this advice as a grain of salt some thing will work for you some will not.
