In school I managed to be in a CCA committee and obtained CFA lvl 1 and just passed lvl 2 =)

Just note that A&F degree not only limited to accounting role. I was offered Kpmg but the working hrs turn me off.

Only advice is to know what you want to do and work towards something that can show.
Aww ... I'm not good with networking ... Any tips on the avenues that I can do networking at ?? Needa identify the correct opportunities and events and the rest is left to luck already right ?

I'm really a greenhorn when it comes to all these man! Hope you can enlighten me a lil ? Thanks!
