Best piece of advice for prospective candidates?

"Be yourself! Be candid about what you want and showcase your best self. Be sure you aren’t trying to fit yourself into whatever version you think the employer wants as an ill-fitting role in the beginning doesn’t become better with time – it simply leads to burnout and disappointment in the long run."

Sarah Brams

Senior Campus Recruiter

"The people! I genuinely love coming to work every day and being surrounded by such smart, talented, and compassionate people!"

Best piece of advice for prospective candidates?

"Project a can-do attitude – attitudes are contagious, and your drive, passion and motivation is what will set you apart from others!"

Grace Burleson

Senior Campus Recruiter

What do you love most about working at Elliott Davis?

"The people! Since day 1, I have felt included and supported. You are encouraged to be yourself and grow as a professional. The values at Elliott Davis are brought to fruition everyday and it makes working at a place like this so enjoyable. I look forward to coming to work."

Best piece of advice for prospective candidates?

"Being a mentor to young professionals who are trying to get their career started. Seeing one of your recruits go from student to intern to full-time employee is incredible. The relationships I have made with students and interns even in the first year I have been here has been great!"

April Jasmin

Campus Recruiting Specialist

What do you love most about working at Elliott Davis?

"My favorite part about working at Elliott Davis is the flexibility. I have always felt encouraged to spend time away from work when needed which is really refreshing. Being able to take the time I need to disconnect from work allows me to come back recharged and more focused."

Best piece of advice for prospective candidates?

"Take time to shop around. Connect with as many firms and people within those firms, in order to give you a good grasp of where you see yourself fitting best. Any firm you interact with, you will likely end up doing the same job as an accountant, but what matters most is how each experience and person you interact with within the firm makes you feel."

Blake Morgan

Campus Recruiter

What do you love most about working at Elliott Davis?

"Working in an environment that is driven by making positive impacts for its people and community."

Best piece of advice for prospective candidates?

"Try to have as many conversations as possible with professionals. This will only help solidify when you find the right “fit” for your professional journey. There are many ways to meet talented folks from one organization. Attend as many recruiting events as your schedule allows, or just reach out to your local Campus Recruiter for guidance."

Bliss Zechman
