Applying for Accounting Internships
As I was exploring different Accounting internships today, I couldn’t help but chuckle at one firm that offered the lowest pay rate ($15-18 an hour, so averaging $16). They had the audacity to ask in their application if I could start shifts at 6 AM every morning. I confidently checked “no” and sent it off! From now on, I’m committed to answering questions like that with complete honesty. I’m curious to see how it affects the number of follow-ups I get!

That’s definitely an interesting approach! It’s great to hear you’re being honest about what works for you. It’s wild that some firms expect such early starts with such a low pay rate. You deserve to find an internship that values your time and skills! I’m curious to see how this experiment plays out for you. It might just end up being a great filter for the types of opportunities you want to pursue! Keep us updated on how it goes!
