Mock Meet the Firms
On October 9th, over 150 Beta Alpha Psi & Accounting Society students filled the pyramid eager to practice their networking skills in anticipation for Meet the Firms the following week. The evening included a presentation by our very own alumni from EY, Edwin Aguilar and Allen Au, who spoke about the importance of exhibiting self confidence at networking events. They also shared some helpful tips that students would find useful when networking not only at Meet the Firms, but anytime they interact with professionals. Their engaging presentation gave students an opportunity to practice their elevator speeches and receive both praise and critiques from their peers.
Later, all students then had the opportunity to practice these new skills by talking to some of the organization's more experienced members. Sounds of lively chatter filled the room as students conversed with one another about internships, recruiting, and school. As the night came to a close, students left the event ready for a successful Meet the Firms the following week. |
