Hello All,

I recently passed the CPA exam after almost 2 years,it was a tough journey and with immense help from this forum.Now I am on the next part of getting the CPA License and still researching about ethics exam etc.

In the meanwhile I also searched om this forum as to job search tips/advice.I got few posts and were helpful,But I thought to post a new one seeking for your inputs.

1)Whats your technique for applying for jobs?

I will share mine,I have uploaded my resume on job sites like monster,career builder and also applied directly on various companies. I also look for job opportunities on linkedin and there are really good genuine jobs out there.

2) Whats the current scenario for accounting finance jobs hiring?

I know its tough out there to fetch a job,also just doing CPA will not warranty a job but YES it will improve my prospects.So any one as to how the hiring trend is.

3) Many people here suggested to build networks as they can really help to get a job

How to build networks? I am currently unemployed and would like to know your way of building networks.

Lastly for me getting a job would be a slight more tedious than rest of you all because I not only have to find a job but also a valid sponsor to apply for my work permit.I know ,have read earlier on this forum that close to none were able to get sponsorship.But that is what is motivating me as many people tell me its very difficult and I have answer in my mind.”Wait n Watch me”

But hey after I cleared this CPA exam it has taught me one thing “to be positive and wait for the right time,Nothing is impossible if you try hard”

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Good Luck

Nishvik, do you have access to your university career center? Maybe they could help with your resume? It seems like English is not your first language. I think that could be a barrier too, people can notice in emails, applications, etc.

@ pikachu I have done my Masters from outside US hence the whole scenario of job application becomes a bit more complicated for me.

I do get calls from companies but since I need a job sponsorship ,not many of them are ready to do that.I take your advice positively and will send my resume to some of my friends who have graduated from US to help me may be with some pointers.

Yes English is not my first language,but I have studied and graduated in English.May be I reply from my smartphone hence My sentences/ grammar construction may be haphazard.

Thanks 🙂
