SUNY Oswego - Career Services: Accounting Recruitment

Important Update! Accounting Recruitment Materials Deadline Extended.

Due to technical difficulties, the deadline for recruitment material uploads/submissions to the LakerLeads website and paper form submissions to Career Services
has been extended until Monday, September 21 at Noon.

THE SYSTEM WILL BE LIVE STARTING ON AUGUST 31ST - YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEARCH FOR COMPANIES AND APPLY FOR POSITIONS ANYTIME AFTER THAT.

Welcome back to campus!! Believe it or not, on-campus recruiting is upon us, so I wanted to get this information to you detailing the firms that are interested in recruitment, and other pertinent information. This page will have general information regarding our online recruitment system "LakerLeads." Read this entire page (it will be helpful to print this information out as you will need to reference it to learn the system - trust us. Really. Truly. Print now if you know what it good for you.:-).

Career Services is utilizing a new online recruitment system this year - "LakerLeads." Although you will come to the Compass (142 Campus Center) to interview with potential employers, all resumes and cover letters need to be submitted online. You must be eligible to graduate Dec. '09, May, '10 or Aug. '10 in order to engage in the recruitment process, with the exception of IBM, PWC, KPMG, and Bonadio (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 - Friday, Sept. 18th at midnight. As you can see, we have many recruiters this year participating in the resume referral aspect of recruiting. 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, 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. 18th. Job and Internship descriptions and any special instructions for applying will be listed in the LakerLeads system.

** IBM, Ernst & Young, Fust, and KPMG have paper documents you need to complete and hand in to Career Services. PDF's are linked below

** IBM, PWC, KPMG, and Bonadio 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.

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 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 companies 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 is also available to you.
