Read this blog, as I will tell you from my own experience how to get an internship in accounting area.

Rather than giving you bunch of links to some websites I will actually give you some advice that will be very helpful to you in finding internships not only in accounting but in any other area.

Ok Here it goes...

Step 1
(complete this step only if you can)
Get an internship with one of the Big Four Accounting Companies!

Who is the big four? ( in case if you didn't know)
Ernst & Young, Price water house Coopers, K P M G and D e l o i t t e.


Why get an internship with them?

Yeah it might sound repetitive to you as some of your professor might have already told you about this, but they are right. Getting an internship with the Big Four will open to you all the accounting doors.

How do you do it?
First

Register on their career services website.

Why?

In order to apply for an internship with the big four you should always first register on their website. You should understand that searching for an internship is not like searching for a job as companies most likely will never list their internships on some job boards especially big companies and they will require you to register on their website.

It will ask you to fill out a long application - do it. Register to all of them, some of them will ask you to fill out a survey about yourself which will probably take 5-10 minutes - do that as well. Answer all questions correctly as they will check with your University.

OK, now that you have registered on their career page, comes the next step

Step 2

Go to their Campus Career Recruitment.

You can find that information on their website. But I would rather check with your university career services since when I tried to find information on their website about their recruitment on my campus they said that they were not having any, but my university career services confirmed the opposite.

So check with your career services department

Big four companies most often have recruiters that will come to campuses mostly during fall, and recruit certain number of students based on the prestige of your university and their University - Big Four relationships. Make sure you attend these recruitment. If it is not offered in your University than check with other Universities around your area, they most certainly should have recruitment in any top two universities in your state.

Note: If you don't go to the career recruitment you most likely will not get an internship. It's a must for you to go to a career recruitment unless your uncle can get you an internship position. If you don't have it in your University than check with the career services of a different University. Call them and they should be able to help you.
