Able Jobs Looking for Office/Media Coordinator Intern (Paid)
Here is an email I received from a local company (Able Jobs) - a Fall River, MA company.
"I am looking for an intern with social media and interpersonal skills. I am looking for someone to prepare our job postings, update our blogs and web sites, and build our nascent email newsletter. While in the office, the intern will also have to handle incoming calls, make arrival checks as requested, and administer the preliminary application and assessments for in-office interviews. If the schedule permits, the intern might be invited to go to job fairs. I expect that the intern would work perhaps 20 hours a week and the position is a paid one. The intern would have to wear business casual and otherwise conform to acceptable office protocols."
"A successful social media coordinator will have a good telephone voice, be able to write (and spell) well and be a multitasker. Because of the nature of our work, the intern must be a meticulous about documentation. Despite this, the intern must be able to listen effectively and, where necessary, deliver bad news professionally. "
Interested students should send resumes and cover letters to Eileen Wheeler Sheehan, CSP at:

VITA Program
**** VITA INFORMATION SESSION **** FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2 11:00 AM and Noon CCB-115 SEE MORE DETAILS BELOW! **** ALL MAJORS WELCOME ****GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE *** FREE INCOME TAX RETURN PREP TRAINING **** VALUABLE SKILL **** GREAT RESUME ITEM
Hi business majors:
We need your help during the Spring 2013 semester. And you will also benefit!
Freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors of the Charlton College of Business, we need you to assist Southcoast area families in the preparation their 2012 Federal Tax Returns. VITA (volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program is a way that you can get involved, learn more about federal taxation, pick up some real world experience (for that resume) and make a difference. This is an activity that creates wonderful learning opportunities beyond the classroom. VITA is a nationally recognized program - developed and supported by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
VITA has two main parts to it: 1) A free IRS training program that results in the student being awarded a certificate (for passing a tax test) and 2) A volunteer component where students work with clients to prepare tax returns during the 2013 tax season (Feb. and March). For income tax training which will begin in January 2012, we will soon be accepting CCB students as volunteers into the VITA program, a federal income tax return assistance program. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a cooperative effort by the Internal Revenue Service and many individual states, including Massachusetts, to provide income tax assistance to low-income individuals, handicapped or elderly. Volunteers trained by the Internal Revenue Service prepare basic income tax returns free of charge at VITA sites. Our local site is at the CEDC in New Bedford; only a few miles from campus.
Ever hear this? "To whom much is given, much is expected." Or "Pay it forward." Think about how you might use your talents to give something back to our community. You have much to give and you will gain valuable experience and other possible benefits.
LEARN MORE! Please join us for one of the information sessions. There will be two informational meetings regarding Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program on Friday, November 2 at:
11:00 am
and
Noon
the first floor, large conference room (Room 115) of the Charlton College of Business.
Brian Pastori of the New Bedford CEDC (host of the VITA program) , Diedre Healy and I will be present to explain the VITA program, the training involved, and potential benefits. Have all your questions answered and see what this program is about.
NOTE: IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE INFO MEETING AND STILL WANT TO BE PART OF VITA - NO PROBLEM! Email Brian Pastori (brian_pastori@yahoo.com) and Dierdre Healy (dhealy@umassd.edu) and tell them about your interest, they will keep you on a mailing list that should provide updates on the program, training, etc.
VITA is a program that helps our local residents in two ways: it gives them assistance in preparing their tax returns and it helps them take advantage of the earned income credit - a bit of an economic boost that can help these folks make ends meet. For a student, this is a great way to give back to the community, create a significant resume item that shows civic engagement/community service and a desire to learn something new (and practical), and allows you to achieve validate your tax knowledge via an IRS exam. For some UMD students, work study and Connections program requirements can be satisfied through VITA. This is also an excellent way to learn outside of the classroom. There may also be one or two internship positions available through the CEDC - the organization that runs our VITA program.
However, the real motivating factor for your participation in this program is not financial but rather, the opportunity to help some people who need your help, while at the same time learning a great deal about federal income tax and the workings of a great nonprofit like the CEDC. The VITA program infuses thousands of dollars back into the economy through the earned income tax credit - an opportunity that many low-income taxpayers fail to take advantage of. You can help some folks get the tax credit and put a few extra dollars into their pockets.
For your information, the CEDC's mission is as follows:
CEDC hosts the VITA program in New Bedford. The Community Economic Development Center of Southeastern Massachusetts seeks to create a more just local economy by building bridges to resources, networks, and cooperative action for adults, youth, aspiring entrepreneurs, working families, grassroots organizations, and immigrant workers members of our community. The work of the CEDC is created and directed by the people who will benefit most from its success. CEDC challenges economic and political institutions and policies that exclude full participation and access to power by all members of our community.
The VITA program is open to all students but is particularly interesting to accounting and finance students who might want to pursue careers in tax planning or personal financial planning. Free training is provided and all majors are welcome. You will be provided with income tax training (options for an in class session in late January 2013 or a self-study option) so that you can pass an IRS exam and move onto help families who need your help. This is a great service to the people of the city of New Bedford. We have gotten great feedback from the students who completed VITA last year. Many accounting majors have worked in VITA but keep in mind that all majors are welcome to participate.
If you are looking for a great service learning project, looking for a great resume item, or simply want to give something back, come to one of the info sessions on 11/2/2012.
If you have questions, please email me. We are also interested in getting student clubs and associations within our business college to consider getting their members involved with VITA.

The VITA program infuses thousands of dollars back into the economy through the earned income tax credit - an opportunity that many low-income taxpayers fail to take advantage of. You can help some folks get the tax credit and put a few extra dollars into their pockets.
For your information, the CEDC's mission is as follows:
CEDC hosts the VITA program in New Bedford. The Community Economic Development Center of Southeastern Massachusetts seeks to create a more just local economy by building bridges to resources, networks, and cooperative action for adults, youth, aspiring entrepreneurs, working families, grassroots organizations, and immigrant workers members of our community. The work of the CEDC is created and directed by the people who will benefit most from its success. CEDC challenges economic and political institutions and policies that exclude full participation and access to power by all members of our community.
The VITA program is open to all students but is particularly interesting to accounting and finance students who might want to pursue careers in tax planning or personal financial planning. Free training is provided and all majors are welcome. You will be provided with income tax training (options for an in class session in late January 2013 or a self-study option) so that you can pass an IRS exam and move onto help families who need your help. This is a great service to the people of the city of New Bedford. We have gotten great feedback from the students who completed VITA last year. Many accounting majors have worked in VITA but keep in mind that all majors are welcome to participate.
If you are looking for a great service learning project, looking for a great resume item, or simply want to give something back, come to one of the info sessions on 11/2/2012.
If you have questions, please email me. We are also interested in getting student clubs and associations within our business college to consider getting their members involved with VITA.

Intersession (Winter) Personal Finance Course
Intersession (Winter) Personal Finance Course
During this winter intersession (January 2, 2013 to January 18, 2013), I (Michael Griffin) will be offering FIN320 Personal Finance through our division of Professional and Continuing Education. It carries 3 credits and counts as a business elective. This will be a hybrid course - meaning most of it will be online. There are only 3 face-to-face meetings (1/2, 1/9, 1/18). There are two exams - one at the mid-point and a final. The course will be accelerated and a great deal of the learning activities will fall upon the student but if you are the type who is looking for flexibility and learns well by reading, studying the chapters, and engaging in interactive content (we will utilize an online learning system), then this might be a good course for you. You must be comfortable with myCourses - the UMD online learning management system and we will also utilize McGraw-Hill's Connect system.
The textbook is very good and extremely easy to read however, there will be a lot of ground to cover in just 3 short weeks. Yet, this is a very practical course and one that may appeal to anyone who is interested in a career in financial services, personal financial planning, consumer banking or anyone concerned about increasing their financial literacy.
If you are thinking about catching up by taking an intersession course or trying to lighten your load for a future semester, this course might be appealing to you.
Here's a brief description:
FIN320 Personal Finance
An introduction to the financial planning process of setting goals, developing action plans, creating budgets and measuring results. The student will become familiar with the techniques of financial analyses necessary to make choices when considering housing, insurance, retirement plans, and borrowing and other personal finance issues. This will be a hybrid version of the course in that only 3 sessions will be held face-to-face - an introductory session and two exams. The remainder of the course will be conducted online using both Connect (the courseware) and myCourses.
The book is Personal Finance, 10th edition, Kapoor, Dlabay, Hughes, McGraw-Hill, 2012. ISBN (includes the Connect Online Learning Center): 9780077503949
Here are some of the objectives of the course:
Students will learn about:
1. The personal financial planning process.
2. Goal setting and opportunity costs.
3. Personal financial planning aspects of career planning.
4. How to prepare personal financial statements.
5. How to prepare a personal budget,
6. Calculating personal taxable income.
7. Basics of personal federal tax liability and income tax planning.
8. Savings plans and payment accounts.
9. Choosing sources of consumer credit.
10. The factors to be considered when purchasing and financing a home
11. Principles of life insurance.
12. Investing fundamentals.
13. Investing in Mutual Funds.
14. The basics of retirement planning
Please check with the division of PCE to learn about the costs involved. I believe tuition for the course is about $1,100. If you have any questions, give me a call, stop by my office, or email me at: mgriffin@umassd.edu.

Accounting Career Fair/Graduate School Expo
Here is a recent message that I received from the Massachusetts Society of CPAs
Massachusetts Society of CPAs.
Accounting Career Fair/Graduate School Expo Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Sheraton Hotel (Copley Place), Constitution Ballroom - 2nd Floor 2-3 p.m. Early Entry for MSCPA Student Members 3-5 p.m. Students seeking internships, entry-level positions; experienced professionals-in-transition are also welcome.
Attendees should register here.
Career fair registrants must have legal authorization to permanently work in the U.S. as participating employers will not be able to serve as sponsors. A complete listing of the participating public accounting firms, companies and governmental agencies will be available online by September 30. To make sure your students are prepared for the event we are hosting the MSCPA Career Fair Prep on October 2. MSCPA student members are invited to meet with HR reps and accounting professionals for a pre-career fair workshop to build their confidence to meet with firm representatives. Preference will be given to MSCPA student members who are registered for the October 16 Career Fair who have not attended a prior Career Fair Prep. The Career Fair Prep will be held at the MSCPA's 9th floor boardroom, 105 Chauncy St, Boston MA. Register online. Learn more about student membership here.
To assist in promoting the event please feel free to use the Career Fair Postcard. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thanks, Barbara & Chris
