Inside an Accounting Internship

You've heard of the old saying 'date before you marry.' Well, that is exactly what New Jersey Society of CPAs student members will be doing during the summer of 2011. Through these blogs, you will be following the “accounting dating” experiences of three interns at Ernst & Young, Lockheed Martin and BDO New Zealand (That’s right, the other side of the world!). Gain some insight on what it’s like to live and breathe as an intern, and get helpful information and tips on how to land your dream internship! Feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts.
