Ernst & Young hosted a dinner for accounting students at Embassy Suites where students can learn about proper dining etiquette in the professional world. Texas State Career Services Center led professionals and students alike in a very detailed presentation through a three-course meal on etiquette do’s and don’ts as well as different styles of dining. In between demonstrations, students were able to chat with the professionals they were seated with.
Meet the Firms was a highly anticipated event and a very important one. Students came with a purpose: to learn more about accounting in general, the different firms that were present, or to give away their resumes in hopes of being interviewed. This event is consistently well received by attendees and continues to help students reach their goals by providing endless netowrking opportunities.
Despite the tough competition that reigned the event, the main purpose of the golf tournament was to provide yet another networking opportunity for students. Students were paired with a professional from a firm and the close one-on-one interaction gave the professionals a chance to learn more about that student not on a skill level but on a more personal level. This invaluable experience gives our students a chance to feel more comfortable with professionals and for them to be themselves under no pressure.
