Interview Skills & Résumé Building

Your résumé may look similar to others, but being a PICPA member can help set you apart.

Building Your Skills & Expertise

Growing in your career requires continuous learning. This is especially true when transitioning to a new role, shifting your areas of expertise, or looking forward to that next promotion. Having a plan for obtaining professional development is an important step.   

Finding a Job

As the economy changes, those seeking a job more than ever need to be able to adapt to the new environment. Without this crucial self-evolution, competition may get the best of you, meaning that someone who doesn’t necessarily have better qualifications but does have a refined outlook may get the job instead. The PICPA offers tips on how to find (and get) the job you want. 

Finding a Mentor and Building a Professional Network

Being connected to fellow CPAs plays an important role in advancing your career. Your peers and role models can offer guidance as you explore new opportunities, and help you stay informed while providing constructive feedback.
