📍 Sala San Marco, Ottawa, ON
🏢 Hosted by Carleton Career Services
Carleton Career Services is hosting a networking event specifically designed to connect students with mid-sized accounting firms in the Ottawa area. The Local Firm Meet & Greet takes place at Sala San Marco in downtown Ottawa on the evening of September 17. This is an in-person networking opportunity tailored to accounting students looking to build professional connections with local employers. The event runs for two hours and provides direct access to recruiters and representatives from regional accounting firms.
Why it’s worth going
This event is specifically designed for accounting students and focuses exclusively on mid-sized firms, which often offer more direct client interaction and faster career progression than larger practices. Meeting recruiters face-to-face at Sala San Marco gives you the chance to make a personal impression that goes beyond a résumé submission. The evening timing accommodates students with daytime classes, and the two-hour window provides ample opportunity to speak with multiple firms.
Going in prepared
Bring multiple copies of your résumé and dress in business professional attire, as this is a formal networking event with accounting firm representatives. Arrive closer to the 6:00 p.m. start time to maximize your networking window before the venue gets crowded. Research mid-sized accounting firms in Ottawa beforehand so you can ask informed questions about their practice areas and client base. Consider attending the September 23 workshop on optimizing networking strategies and LinkedIn profiles mentioned on the same events page to prepare.
