Usually companies travel across the country to numerous universities. They attend career fairs, give corporate information sessions, post jobs and interview on campus. This type of recruitment differs from OCR in that companies need to fill positions immediately. Sometimes employers choose not to post jobs, so we use our database to source candidates at the request of employers. By matching job requirements with applicant skills we can pinpoint qualified candidates quickly.
Companies can have very specific needs, and candidates can have very focussed career goals.
We suggest that candidates prepare for interviews by attending company info sessions, by signing up for Career Centre and CAPS interview workshops and mock-interview appointments, by reading about current interview practices. The activities include the CAS Cocktail, firm tours and the CAS Accounting Career Day. Complete instructions on how to participate in this event are available at the Career Centre and at the CAS office. A weekly email newsletter is sent out to our registered users and to all Graduate Students. Additionally, we can publicize your career events on our website and at the Career Centre.
