Do you know a future CPA? The fall recruitment season starts soon with Meet Your Employer, the biggest accounting career fair of the year. The event connects hundreds of post-secondary students and CPA candidates with key employers across Alberta for networking, learning, and kick-starting careers.
Attending Meet Your Employer can be incredibly valuable for someone pursuing or considering the CPA designation — here’s why:
- Direct access to company representatives: father than being just another résumé in an inbox, future CPAs get to meet recruiters and decision makers face-to-face.
- Insider perspective on employers: Meet Your Employer offers an opportunity for future CPAs to strike up conversations with representatives from different sectors, ask questions, and get a sense of how organizations differ in terms of workload, training, benefits, and values.
- Clarity on the CPA career path: if someone you know is unsure about pursuing the CPA designation, they can visit CPA Alberta’s Hub at the event to have all their questions answered. Representatives from CPA Alberta and the CPA Education Foundation will be there to provide clarity and discuss available resources.
- Early networking can bring future offers: the people prospective candidates meet now may later interview them, mentor them, or recommend them for positions, so we recommend that future CPAs come prepared to leave a lasting impression.
