quarterly report published by the National Association of Colleges and
Employers (NACE) and reported by AccountingWeb. http://www.accountingweb.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=103866&d=883&h=884&f=882& > New Report Documents
Strategies for Increasing Number of Finance Practitioners, Preparing
Workforce for the Future The
future of the accounting, finance and audit professions will be largely
determined by their response to escalating talent shortages and other
challenges of the post-regulatory-reform era, says a distinguished group of
leaders in these fields. > Failing To Observe Good Etiquette Is Bad Manners, Bad For Business As
reported by the Kansas City Business Journal, knowing etiquette is becoming
more important because these rules help guide us through a variety of
situations in our ever-shrinking and changing world. All of us can attest to
situations in which, if we had known what do, it could have saved us
embarrassment or even a job. http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/1996/11/11/smallb3.html > Survey Shows Thank-You Notes
Influence Hiring Decisions, But Only Half of Candidates Send Them While
nearly nine out of 10 of executives polled (88 percent) said sending a
thank-you note following an interview can boost a job seeker's chances,
they also estimate that half of applicants (49 percent) fail to do so. The good
news: More candidates are following up post-interview today than five
years ago. > Internships Pay in http://accounting.smartpros.com/x58602.xml > Work And Humor Do Mix Almost
nine out of 10 workers surveyed think their bosses have a good sense of
humor. ___________________________________________________ Sponsored By: Information, Inc. |
