When I began my final year in college last fall, l started perusing the job postings, looking for a full-time (paying) position in accounting. At the time, l noticed job ads for all of the public accounting firms, and though I though they were interesting, I ignored them. I assumed they were for the December graduates. Was I ever mistaken! It turns out that they were postings for regular May graduates like me! When I realized my error, I quickly put together a resume and contacted professors for recommendation. I eventually interviewed with several companies, and within a week l'd gotten a job. I felt relieved; I had taken care of my future. It was November, and l wouldn't even be starting until the following July.
