> Young Professionals Happy Hours A
Success!
Nearly 100 young

establishments to relax, unwind, and socialize last month. CPAs and
CPAs-in-the- making from more than 20 firms and companies shared stories,
laughs, and even televised Cardinal baseball. Many thanks to all those who
attended for making these inaugural Young Professional segment events a
raging success! Stay tuned for upcoming events and activities geared
specifically toward MSCPA's Young Professionals! http://www.mocpa.org/Content/youngp.aspx

Young CPAs Are Needed For the LEAP Job
Shadowing Program
National Groundhog Job Shadow Day is a nationwide initiative dedicated to
giving students a unique opportunity to "shadow" a workplace mentor
as he or she goes through a normal day on the job, getting an up-close look
at how the skills learned in school. On February 2, 2007, the Missouri
Society of CPAs will mobilize member firms and businesses to open their doors
to students. Nationwide, more than one million students and 100,000
businesses participate. http://www.mocpa.org/Content/22277.aspx
> American's
Ages 25-34 Face Uncertain Future Due To Poor Financial Habits
According to a
study commissioned by the AICPA, Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 face
a potentially troubling future as a consequence of their current spending and
saving habits. http://www.aicpa.org/download/news/2006/Economic_Report_Release.pdf
> The Hiring
Outlook: Professionals in Demand
Businesses seek professionals with three or more years of experience to
perform accounting functions such as maintaining general-ledger accounts,
preparing financial statement and developing budgets. These individuals
typically possess highly versatile, transferable skills. Those with a CPA
accreditation and public accounting experience are in greatest demand. http://accounting.smartpros.com/x55280.xml
> Survey
Finds Tenure in Past Jobs Important Factor in Hiring Decisions
Chronic job hoppers may bounce themselves out of consideration for future
opportunities, a new survey of CFOs suggests. Eighty-seven percent of CFOs
polled said the length of time a candidate has spent with previous employers
is an important factor when evaluating that person for a position with their
company.

Technology Tip of the Week
Provided
by the MSCPA Information Technology Committee
Create A Formula For Entering A Series Of Incremental Times In
Excel
Suppose you're working in Excel and need to record the price of
a certain stock every 15 minutes as it is traded over a period of five hours.
Rather than manually typing in the time for each recording, you can use a
formula to quickly and automatically fill in the time increments for you.
