This time for the blog and myself, I decided to go to some club general interest meetings and see if any of them intrigued me. On August 24, the day of Convocation day, as I was waiting on line to get a free smoothie drink, a guy comes up to my friend and I, and asked what our majors were. We both answered accounting and coincidentally enough, he was from the Accounting Society Club. He told us to sign up for newsletters and updated information on the club, so when it was time they had their first general interest meeting, my friend and I went. 

When we first walked in, they provided us with a game where there were zoomed in pictures and we had to guess what the thing was based on the close up and the winning team in the end gets a goodie bag. (We didn’t win, but we were pretty close). In the meeting, they provided us with information on what the club is. The club has many official members ranging from marketing, to organizing the club. Each year they have professionals from big companies or corporations come to the school and have either a group or one on one interview. There are sessions where they will be teaching us how to put together a resume that is worth reading and throughout the year, it will be sessions teaching us about interviews, types of accounting corporations, things we should or shouldn’t do, and etc. One thing that I took away was the fact that when applying for a job especially in Accounting, it is best to have volunteer experience because firms want to see that we are also contributing to the society, and sometimes even in workplaces, they will let their employees take a day off and volunteer at an event. I am definitely interested in the club since it is helpful for my future career, but I have decided to wait until I am completely settled on wanting to become an accountant to join the club.
