Planning ahead -- way ahead!

I'm not used to looking for work a year ahead of the time I expect to start -- but that's what you have to do, as an accounting major. I'm trying to set up an interview with Ernst & Young when they come to NAU in a couple of weeks, and they sent back a note, asking for my top two preferences within the areas they practice, and where I want to go, etc.

I'm starting to think in terms of risk management and internal control reporting -- two areas not normally associated with brand-new accounting grads -- because that type of work would enable me to make use of my tech writing and process/procedure documentation background. With Sarbanes-Oxley and other corporate governance legislation coming to the fore, I'm hoping accounting and other consulting firms might be looking for manpower to document their clients' internal controls.

Meanwhile, the mighty NAU Trombone Choir is up and running again. We're going to have a good group this year, having added a couple of strong players. I may have to find more practice time!
