Any degree could start an audit career…….but success is based upon diversity of experience.
Nothing is a substitute for experience……education only carries you so far.
Attitude is applied to everything you do……how you apply it makes all the difference.
Employers need what you have……and you want what employers have.
If at first you don’t succeed……it’s ok, really. Try something else.
Who you are matters……there will never be anything more important than you being you.

•How soon can I get promoted?•Note: What is the advancement potential within your organization
•Can you tell me if I have the job, because I have other people interested in me?•Note: Just don’t ask. There is no better way to say it.

Avoid asking “bad” questions
•Beauty is subjective.•A good candidate for one
organization may not be a good candidate for another organization•Just because you answer the
questions perfectly does not make you a “good fit”.
Qualities of a Good Candidate

Be someone others WANT to work with, not NEED to work with.
Only YOU control YOUR destiny, it’s nobody else’s responsibility.
Success is arbitrary and subjective; YOU decide what makes YOU successful.
