Hello from USD Accountancy Programs and the Knauss Student Success Center!

 

Welcome to the posting for the USD Meet the Firms Fall 2026 Resume Book. If you are searching for an internship for Summer 2027 (yes- you read that correctly), or a full-time position upon graduating Spring 2027 semester, you are in the right place. Accounting employers have requested to see all student resumes before Meet the Firms on September 24, 2026. Submitting your resume to the resume book is highly recommended for students. Please note: although you have submitted you resume, it is not guaranteed to be included in the resume book- follow the steps below to ensure your resume is included in the resume book.

    1. Once your resume is complete, submit your resume as a PDF file via the Handshake posting.
    2. PLEASE NOTE: Please check your emails for any edits or revisions needed and resubmit. If you did not receive a confirmation email from me, that means your resume is not accepted.

DISCLAIMER:

  • By submitting your resume to the resume book you are authorizing Knauss Student Services to release your resume to companies that are seeking candidates that match your general profile.

What Do I Do if a Company Contacts Me?

If you are contacted by a company, be sure to respond professionally in both written and oral communications. Before submitting your resume, make sure you have a professional email address and a formal voicemail message. If you are contacted, it is likely the employer wants to set up an interview, either over the phone or in person, or convey next steps in the application process. If you have already found a job or internship, or if you are not interested in the company or position, be polite and remember that you are the one that submitted your resume in hopes of a response.
