Rutgers–Camden Student Lands Full-Time Accounting Job Months before Commencement
Summary
With assistance from the Career Center, Yamamoto built on that internship in the summer 2016 to land another internship in 2017 and ultimately, three months before graduating, a full-time job as an audit associate with KPMG in Center City Philadelphia that will start in September.
Hideki Octavio Yamamoto’s visits to the Rutgers University–Camden Career Center paid off in a big way.
After meeting with a staff member who critiqued his resume during his junior year, he followed up with her and told her about his hopes for an internship.
“In less than 20 minutes, she called and said, ‘We have an employer here. Do you want an interview?’” says Yamamoto, who will earn a dual degree in accounting and finance on May 18 from the Rutgers School of Business–Camden. “It happened on the spot because they had an open gap between interviews. I went back and got the internship.”
