CFOs: New Hires Must Be Prepared
By Matthew L. Brown
Accounting and finance executives say in these lean times, they want recent college graduates applying for work to have industry experience for entry-level jobs.
According to the results of an Accountemps survey, 93 percent of accounting and finance industry CFOs said it was either very important or somewhat important that entry-level accountants gain work experience while in college.
Accountemps, a temporary employment agency focused on the accounting and finance industry, said employers want new hires that can contribute immediately, especially in a poor economy.
The agency said college students can gain work experience through internships, part-time work, temporary positions and volunteering their services to local community organizations.
