“I have gained a great deal of knowledge and insight during my internship…. I found the employees were extremely friendly and willing to answer my questions and help me learn about an accounting career. I feel the internship has helped me with my career choices. It has provided me with hands-on experience…. I am more confident in my decision to pursue accounting.”
