I would not have believed this could happen if I hadn’t been there myself. Wow! That’s the only thing I can say.

This guy shows up at my office at 4:30pm on Friday, April 11th looking for a job. I introduced myself and then when I told him that he would have to come back at another time because we were swamped, he asked to speak to the “man in charge about setting up an appointment on Tuesday”. I played along thinking this has got to be a practical joke. I go tell my partner that someone wants to see him about a job and he laughed about the “man in charge” comment. He tells me to “let him stew for a few minutes”. So I did. While waiting on the “man in charge” this guy proceeds to tell me that he can do my job in 1/2 the time because he got 91% in Advanced Accounting so the CPA exam is going to be a “piece of cake” and shouldn’t take more than a “month to pass”. My license is hanging on the wall, literally right behind my head. My name is on the freaking building! And he never put two and two together. Finally, “the man in charge” comes out to my desk and introduces himself and then proceeds to introduce me as his partner and tells the guy that “She makes all of the hiring decisions” and points to me. This guy went from the deepest shade of red I have ever seen on a human being to white as a sheet in about 30 seconds. It took him that long to figure out that I was a CPA. I just smiled and said “Good luck with your job search.” When he walked out of the office, I looked at my partner and asked “Did that just happen?” WOW!

fuzzy: That's a great tip. I learned that one early on, employers like to see how you are when people aren't around. I strike up conversations, ask them questions about the company, how long they have been there, etc. If it's a female though, as a male you want to be careful with this, especially if the receptionist is particularly attractive you could come off as hitting on her (even if you aren't) and employers will definitely shy away from a sexual harassment risk. So friendly, but not TOO friendly is the perfect way to go…

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

@ Skynet Every return has an IRS instructions packet that you can look up when you type the form number in the search option on the IRS web site. Let me know if you find a more exciting way to learn those forms.

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

Anyone think there's a chance that this young stallion was trying to impress Kricket with his confidence in hopes of getting a hot date with an older woman?

@Monk – Thanks for saying that. I needed an ego boost! But somehow I doubt that was the case. Unless he has a thing for women who are in desperate need of a dye job and a manicure, then I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to impress me. 🙂 But the world is full of freaks!
