Why it’s worth going
Understanding your values, work style preferences, and strengths helps you target finance and accounting roles where you’ll actually thrive rather than just chasing prestige. This is especially important in a field with distinct career cultures—audit travel schedules differ vastly from corporate finance office roles, and investment banking hours are very different from government finance positions. The French-language format connects you with peers navigating similar decisions in Ottawa’s bilingual job market.
Going in prepared
Reflect beforehand on courses, projects, or work experiences where you felt energized versus drained, as these patterns reveal important preferences. Be ready to share your thoughts and questions in French, as group discussion is typically a key component of peer sessions. Bring a notebook to capture insights about yourself that emerge during activities or conversations.
