Hi everyone,

I had a few interviews last week and have heard from one (local firm) so far. It is not my first choice but I feel like I am obligated to call them back right away to accept the offer — but then again, if I accept this one right away, I MIGHT also be offered a job from the other firms ( Moss Adams, and today, I have an interview with Deloitte) ..(or it could be the opposite and only have that local firm accept me out of all the firms I applied.

So what is the best way to deal with this?

@Hellen:

All I did was send out TONS of resumes to many firms. I'd refer to this website for a list of firms in the area:

https://www.discovercpa.org/career/intern_contacts.cfm

I went to each of their website and directly emailed them about my interest in a job opportunity. Also, if you're an Alumni of your school, they have a Career website where several Accounting firms post job opportunities — The timing for me was perfect because it is the recruiting season and they'd like me to start in January 2013 for the busy season ahead.

Good luck!!!

Thanks! One thing I did notice is that when I brought up accounting, the interviewer didn't seem that interested. It was as if he wanted to talk about something else. I found out I have another interview for next week so I hope I can nail that one.

Yeah it was for accounting. I think he just wanted to see if I was personable and had a life outside of accounting. But I came into the interview wanting to show that I was a self motivated individual who is devoting a significant amount of time into passing the exams.
