Mock Meet the Firms
On Tuesday, February 17, Beta Alpha Psi & Accounting Society held Mock Meet the Firms at the Pyramid. Growing on the success of past Mock Meet the Firms, there were some great surprises in store for the students this time around! Lecturers included our very own alum, Brianna Jorgenson; our current President, Allen Au; and special guest Thomas Phelps. Mr. Phelps is the current Chief Corporate Strategist and Chief Information Officer at Laserfiche, and was formerly the Director of IT Security, Privacy, and Risk at PwC. It was an honor to have him share his expertise with our members.
Topics for the night included the importance of having a top-notch resume as well as some networking tips for students, allowing them to feel more comfortable and more effective during Meet the Firms. Brianna and Allen shared some of their personal stories and advice for making a stronger impression with recruiters. The event even included a masterclass presentation where new Accounting Society member Gonzalo Lopez and current Accounting Society member Anthony Balivet went in front of the audience to practice their elevator speech.
Later, everyone had the chance to practice their networking skills by talking with mock professionals. These individuals included seasoned alumni, experienced BAP&AS members, and attendees from different professional organizations. Members were treated with special guests from INROADS, ISFFA, ASCEND, and IIA. The room was filled with the sounds of dynamic conversation as students brushed up on their networking skills in anticipation for the Meet the Firms event the following week.
