Why
did you come to the Zarb School?
I was interested in pursuing a career in accounting, and the Zarb
School of Business has a great reputation for its MBA/MS programs.
Internship
Experience:
The Graduate Business Career Services office has held many
networking events throughout my time at Zarb, one of which included an informational
session involving the public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath. Representatives from the firm gave a
presentation and spoke with students individually about the opportunities they
offered. Subsequently, the firm came to
the Accounting Career Fair at Hofstra. I
applied for the summer tax internship, had two rounds of interviews, an office
visit, and was ultimately offered the position.
Work
Experience:
My overall experience as a tax intern at Crowe Horwath has been great.
I have learned so much about the accounting field, especially within tax, and have
met many incredible people. The partners, managers, and staff care very much
about their work and have expressed a sincere interest in contributing to my
success throughout the program. I have been given many projects to complete and
each has increased my knowledge tremendously. My proudest moment was when I
correctly filled out a tax return that required no corrections upon review by
my performance manager.
How
did the Zarb School prepare you for your career?
In addition to the accounting and business curriculum I learned
during my MBA classes, the career services office provided practical resources
that proved very valuable during the application and interview process. The
résumé critiques, mock interviews, networking events and workshops were among
the many opportunities that career services offered to help prepare me for my
professional career which has certainly paid off.
What
is your favorite memory/experience at the Zarb School?
My favorite experiences at
Zarb have involved learning about the cultures of my diverse classmates,
including the many similarities and differences of various global business
practices.
What
advice do you have for students who want to follow in your footsteps?
