- Be honest and professional
- Use action verbs to describe your duties and responsibilities (e.g., developed, managed, created, etc.)
- Quantify experiences to show levels of responsibility (e.g., number of people supervised).
- Avoid "buzzwords" and abbreviations
- Contact Information: Name, Address, Email, Phone
- Education: Specify major/degree, as well as the month/year that you will be completing all planned college education
- GPA: Include both overall and major
- Include all work experience, highlighting the positions held, names and locations of organizations, dates of employment, and work responsibilities

Acing the Interview
Do your research! Familiarize yourself with KPMG's business environment and the various career paths available within the firm. As a part of your preparation, take the time to practice answering questions about your qualifications and experiences.
- How effectively do you balance your course load at school with any jobs or extracurricular activities?
- Describe the most challenging situation you've had to deal with and the ways you dealt with it.
- Describe a situation where you have thought of a new or creative way of dealing with a problem.
- Describe a time when you encountered an especially difficult project. What did you do and what was the result?
- What do you consider to be your greatest personal or school-related accomplishment and what steps did you take to achieve it?
- Describe your most successful effort in promoting teamwork within a group and how they responded.
- Describe a situation when your work or one of your ideas was criticized. How did you respond?
- Describe a situation in which you've shown a great deal of initiative.

The most important aspect of this exercise is to give real thought to yourself and your abilities while helping you to be more comfortable during the interview.
- Be sure to give concise answers.
- If you need to organize your thoughts as you're speaking, pause; silence works better than stumbling over words.
- Be positive. No one else is you, so talk about your experiences in and out of school. Don't apologize for a lack of experience, instead, emphasize your strong points.
Come prepared to ask thoughtful and engaging questions about KPMG as well as the role for which you're interviewing.
Send a thank-you message. It is professional to show your appreciation to your interviewer. Reiterate your interest in the position, and reflect on some of the highlights of the interview. Remember to be prompt, concise, and gracious.
Networking & Communication
Every day, we communicate with other people. Communication can be verbal, written, or even nonverbal through our body language. To improve your communication skills, it takes practice and constant self-review.
- Be clear about what you want to express. This keeps your audience focused on you.
- Find common ground in any communication situation. You can build relationships by embracing the similarities.
- Aligning your actions and words. This makes you more consistent and trustworthy.
- Nonverbal cues. Studies show that body language is a more integral part of communication than speech.
- Communicating styles impact peoples’ perception of you. Be enthusiastic and optimistic in order to show the best version of you.
