Accounting Recruitment Instructions
Career Services utilizes an online recruitment system - "LakerLeads." Although you will come to the Compass (145 Campus Center) to interview with potential employers, all resumes and cover letters need to be submitted online. You must be eligible to graduate Dec. '11, May, '12 or Aug. '12 in order to engage in the recruitment process, with the exception of Bonadio, Dermody, Burke & Brown, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers (they are recruiting for internships in addition to full-time positions - details are below)
Below is a list of companies that are accepting resumes - cross reference this list as you search through the LakerLeads system. As you will see from the list, we have ONE deadline for you to get ALL materials submitted to LakerLeads and/or into our office - Tuesday, Sept. 20th (4pm for office materials, midnight for online submissions). You will need to pay strict attention to the materials each firm is requesting and submit them online or provide us those materials by the deadline. For example, if you are interested in Dermody, Burke, & Brown, we need a resume and cover letter. Fust Charles Chambers, however, requires an unofficial transcript along with a resume and signed cover letter. Use LakerLeads to submit resumes and cover letters only - all other materials will be handed in physically to our office by close of business (4pm) on Sept. 20th. Job and Internship descriptions and any special instructions for applying will be listed in the LakerLeads system.
** Bonadio, Bowers, Dannible & McKee and Fust Charles Chambers and some of the resume referral companies have paper documents (unofficial transcripts) you need to hand into Career Services. You can obtain a transcript from your MyOswego Account. (DO NOT GO OVER TO THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE TO OBTAIN THIS AS THEY ARE NOT LONGER PRINTING OUT UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS)
** Bonadio, Dermody, Burke & Brown, KPMG and PWC are recruiting for internships. Be sure to select the internship position title within LakerLeads if you are applying for that, not the full-time job title.
** KPMG and PWC have an online system for which you must apply to as well as uploading a resume to LakerLeads.
As you can see, we have many recruiters this year participating in the resume referral aspect of recruiting.
FYI
**Resumes and Cover Letters are REQUIRED for ALL companies conducting interviews on campus.
** For those firms that will be interviewing on-campus, our office will contact you via the email/local phone number listed on your resume to notify you of your selection status as soon as we know the recruiter's decision.
** Resume Referral: this means a company wants to receive resumes and in some cases unofficial transcripts of interested candidates, but has not scheduled a time to interview students on campus. The company will follow up with students on their own. This is common for first time recruiters -they want to see what SUNY Oswego students have to offer before committing to recruiting on-campus.
** Do not apply to these organizations on your own - utilize our office procedures. Many of these organizations have agreed to participate in recruiting through our office only. The contact info. on the company's profile is to assist you in writing professional, business-like cover letters. Drop by for assistance in writing these job search documents, attend seminars, and/or check out our related handouts.
** Although the recruitment process through our office will put you in contact with many recruiters, we highly encourage you to look for other opportunities with other organizations not necessarily represented through this process. If you have specific geographic preferences or other special considerations, please work with the Career Services office to uncover opportunities that match your needs. We are here to help you in any way we can...
You can drop in to our office for assistance in writing resumes and cover letters, interviewing skills, and much more - check our drop-in hours by calling 312-2255. Our entire calendar of workshops and events is also available to you.
