Accounting professors, partners in accounting firms and recruiters from the “Big Four” firms (Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers) agree that landing a good first job requires:

(i) Good Grades

(ii) A good attitude (which includes good communication and “people” skills)

(iii) A good track record of participation in accounting-related clubs on campus and non-business related activities as will.

You need to build a record demonstrating all three things while you’re in college.
