Abstract

The article emphasizes aspects regarding the perceptions of master accountancy graduates concerning the chances to find an adequate job at graduation. These preoccupations are relatively recent in the academic studies. The student’s expectations are often unrealistic, which causes problems to them and also to the private firms and organizations. From the empirical section results that the students’ evaluations regarding their own opportunities to get a job modify as they advance in the programme. Even more, this evolution is influenced by employment during the studies and by the professional experience.
