“最佳雇主”求职亲历

    职务：2级雇员

    任职公司：安永会计事务所

    尼基•德蒙特很早就接触了就业市场。2006年，17岁的德蒙特便开始就读佐治亚大学（UGA）。大一过后，她便开始四处寻找进入会计行业的途径，她说自己对会计领域非常感兴趣。

    她在学校一个名为INROADS的项目中，通过学院顾问进行求职。该项目旨在帮助缺少资源的年轻人进入美国的一流公司，进而进入工商业。德蒙特称，2007年，她得到INROADS招聘人员的消息。“他们跟我说：‘安永会计事务所（Ernst & Young）的人来了，他们想跟你谈谈。’他们说：‘你看上去心中充满了渴望——虽然你还年轻。’”

    后来，德蒙特参加了安永会计事务所的新兴领袖项目，并获得了公司两年的实习机会。等到她毕业时，德蒙特在安永已经积累了几年经验，并于2011年成为公司的正式员工。

    她说：“我感觉自己这一年非常出色。我接触过事务所几个最大的客户——其中一家公司进行的是公开募股，这种经历简直太棒了。”现在她还是事务所亚特兰大分所的一名初级员工，在金融服务部门工作。

    德蒙特说，未来“我希望能为银行客户服务。在这里的日子真是太有意思了。”

    Title: Staff 2 Employee

    Company: Ernst & Young

    Nikki Dement got a jump on the job market early. She started college at UGA in 2006, when she was 17. Immediately after her freshman year, she started looking for ways to get her foot in the door in accounting, a field she says had always piqued her interest.

    She applied to jobs through her college counselor at a UGA program called INROADS, which helps underserved youth get started in business and industry at some of the top companies in the country. In May 2007, Dement says, she heard from the INROADS recruiter. "They told me, 'We have Ernst & Young, and they want to talk to you.' They said, 'you seem very eager -- you're young, but you're very eager.'"

    Dement went into Ernst & Young's emerging leader's program, and was hired on for a two-year internship at the company. By the time she graduated, Dement already had years of experience with the company, which she joined officially as an employee in October 2011.

    "I have a strong year under my belt," she says. "I've done a lot of work with the largest accounts -- one being a public offering, which was awesome." Now she's an entry-level employee in the firm's Atlanta office, working in financial services.

    In the future, Dement says, "I really want to serve banking clients. This is such an interesting time."
