Greatly. They need to see you and know you. The larger firms will discard resumes from people they don't know.

Very important for Accenture

After these sessions, for PwC at least, the recruiters and staff talk. They keep notes or spreadsheets on who attended, what they thought, etc. Students can be straight written off after these. Or the sentiment could be indifferent. Or someone might champion you and urge that you get an interview.

If you’re an unknown, it can be tough. The caveat here is if it’s up to the folks in the business that have the spot to fill, rather than the recruitment team, where they might care more about your resume than the holistic approach those on the ground might take.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Really helpful info :)

Unused to track attendance and engagement in an excel. So it affects you a lot

As someone who’s done campus recruiting for a few years, I’ve never seen someone get an offer without attending a few events

Little impact. We know you are busy with school and that networking isn’t for everyone. Our focus is on your app. However, our events can be fun and informative so you may want to join a few if you can. Good luck!!

Thank you again to everyone else who responded! Been a lot of help so far
