Secrets to impressing their recruiters
"When interacting with KPMG recruiters and professionals you should demonstrate strong communication skills, responsiveness and follow through, resourcefulness, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. For campus recruits, having a global mindset and a willingness to take advantage of the global opportunities offered by the firm is a plus. And if you already have work experience, you should be able to concisely relate your past experience and previous roles and how they fit the requirements of the job for which you are applying." --Stacy Sturgeon, national managing partner, university relations and recruiting; and Eileen Raymond, executive director, experienced hire recruiting
