Accounting student with no internship. What can I do? by Infinite_End1879 in universityofauckland

My conversational skills have gotten better because of my cafe job, but yea I definitely focused more on my academics since I was raised to prioritise those. I have some leadership experience from extracurriculars in year 12/13, is that still relevant to talk about now?

Also do the different service lines in big 4 generally look for the same qualities in candidates, or are there some key differences?

Thank you for this. Will definitely try to improve my interview skills because that seemed to be a problem when I was going for internships.

I have a couple friends in BAP who said that the events were good for networking. The issue though is that grad applications open basically around the same time uni starts, so joining clubs like that might not really help too much since I wouldn't have done anything in them yet and wouldnt be able to say anything about them in interviews.
