Building Your Network


Did you know…

  • Networking is the number one way to learn about and secure employment?
  • 80% of jobs are never posted publicly and learning about them happens through networking?
  • Employers are incorporating food and beverage into many of their recruiting efforts?
 
The BCDO is here to prepare you for these situations. We offer a series of events that support your development in the areas of job search, networking, and business etiquette: 
 
CA Recruitment Day
Large and mid-sized CA firms will host an afternoon recruitment event to meet with co-op and new graduate CA candidates.  Do not miss this event if you are looking for a co-op job or new grad job. 
 
Networking Breakfast
Starting with a buffet breakfast, students will meet with employers who are recruiting for summer and new graduate opportunities through a series of round-table sessions.
 
Etiquette Dinner
Did you know that today’s employers are evaluating dining and social etiquette in job interviews? This event will teach students about proper business etiquette when dining out.  A 3-course meal is included.

Choosing a career path can be hard.  This series features alumni and employers who work in the professions/business sectors mentioned above.  You will learn about career options/paths, industry trends, and strategies for getting a job in your chosen field. Panel presentation is followed by a networking reception.

The BCDO played a vital role in my search for a position in the public accounting sector. The BCDO helped improve the structure and content of both my resume and cover letter while also assisting me in preparing for the information sessions hosted by the public accounting firms held in early September. These information sessions were great networking opportunities and were critical for me in attaining interviews with these firms.
