thank you very much. I will search and go to the events if they are available somewhere closer to my city.

One more question: if a person participated in Summer Leadership Program with one of the big 4 but didn't get a invitation for interview when she/he applied to the full time position this fall, how will it affect if he/she includes that program on her/his resume and applies to other big 4 firms? does it look good or not? I have been hearing different thoughts about it. some say it is better to include because it shows that you have been exposed to big 4 environment and at least you know how they work. but some say that it would show that you are unstable since you had participated in one and trying to find position in different firms at the same time.

what do you think about it?

thank you
