What can I do during an internship to increase my chances of getting a full-time job offer afterward?

I am an accounting major, interning at a tax/accounting firm and I'm hoping to secure a full time position after completing my internship period. What skill or actions or behaviors do employers look for in interns when deciding who to hire?

In your experience, do you recommend letting people who are in your personal life to read and edit your personal statement for PA school or paying for an editing service?

I will be applying to PA school in 2027, but because I actually don't know any PAs in my life or have any mentors, I am a little lost. I get conflicting advice from people who don't know what I'm going through or who don't have insight into PA school. If any of you are open to mentorship, I...

What is the biggest mistake that undergraduate accounting majors make in their first two years of college that hurts their chances of landing a Big 4 internship and even a Big 4 job after graduating from college?

I am a current high school senior committed to a large university for Fall 2026. My goal is to land a Big 4 internship by my junior-year summer, so I have a better chance of receiving return offers from companies like PWC and KPMG.

How can I combine my business/corporate communication degree with my passion for animals to create a meaningful career, and what steps should I be taking now—such as internships, networking, or skill-building—to stand out to employers in that space?

I am a senior at Baruch College, I have never had any internships, and I feel quite stuck on what I want to do with my degree/what exact fields interest me. I just know my interest in animals.

Is it smart to immediately try and find a job as I begin college Is it too stressful??

I have heard a lot from both sides. A lot of people say that you don’t need to start working unless you have a lot of money you need to pay out of pocket and others say you should get a job immediately.
