I’ve been looking for a full-time position; however, I was offered an internship from a large CPA firm. The firm seems really great so far. I’m 27, so older than the typical intern; however, I’ve discovered most firms will not hire entry level/semi-entry level, unless you go through their internship program. I’m a little nervous of the “temporary” nature of it and the wording on the contracts clearly stipulates it’s a temporary position.

In the past, i’ve had a CPA firm lay me off after tax season, so I am in fact a little Leary. Again though, I really want this position to turn into a full-time offer, since I really like the firm and the people there. I was told that they should know within a few weeks, weather I would be well suited for the role as a full-time hire.

I was just wondering what the odds of this position full-time are? In addition, I was just wondering how I can best increase my chances at the position becoming full-time? I’m tempted to take the partner up on his offer to refer me to others, whom are practicing in my interest area within the firm.

It took me a few hours (2) to better grasp the testing we were doing today while I asked a lot of questions; hopefully, I’m not doing badly.
