Employer In Residence

Employers:
  • Improve your exposure and campus visibility with students and faculty
  • Promote your organization as willing to establish good will and support the
        university community
  • Become known as an "employer of choice" for BSU students

    Employers volunteer time and expertise to educate Bridgewater State University students regarding the world of professional employment and career management. Employers commit to donating 5-10 hours per month to share career information with students through Resume Critiques and Workshop Presentations.

    Students:

    Meet with an Employer in Residence to get your resume or cover letter critiqued, ask questions about the interview/recruiting process and get expert feedback from those that do the hiring at area organizations!  Look below to see who our current employer volunteers are and their schedule on campus for the semester.

We believe that in this twenty-first century our young people must go beyond just being technology trained and computer literate. They must understand the fundamental need that persists to care for and to be cared for by others. The human touch must be maintained and cherished in our highly technological world. We believe that the students of today are challenged to recognize the potential in technological advances for the betterment of mankind and to do all in their power to work toward this goal.

    Susan Mulford
    Kirkland Albrecht & Fredrickson P.C.
    Director, Human Resources

    KAF Financial Group began as Kirkland Albrecht and Fredrickson, P.C. in 1991, with four partners with one common desire. Our desire was to create a public accounting firm that creates long lasting relationships with a superior level of expertise and quality service. Our continued growth and expansion into the new millennium created an opportunity to view the world of accounting differently. The economic landscape was actually demanding it. Businesses were looking to have more services delivered in less time. KAF welcomed this challenge with heightened awareness, and created KAF Financial Group.
