Robin Alizadeh with Rush Enterprises spoke to the Graduate Cost Class tonight. Robin is an Internal Auditor with Rush Enterprises. Rush owns some 60 Peterbilt dealerships and is headquartered in New Braunfels.
Robin attended UT Dallas which has an emphasis at the graduate level on Internal Auditing.
Robin stressed that having the CIA designation assisted him in getting the position with Rush. And he pointed out that most job descriptions are now requiring CIA CMA or CPA preferred if not mandatory. This backs up what we have been telling students. Multiple certifications are the here and now of what is happening in terms of career placement for accountants.
Robin also mentioned the importance of preparing for such exams while one is still in school with as he put it a 'school brain.' Well put Robin, this is an academic exam.
A tip of the hat to former President of San Antonio IIA Arlena Sones for suggesting we contact Robin, thanks Arlena!
Finally Robin mentioned that Rush is looking to hire one additional accounting audit position. Contact Robin at
