    Hello dear fellows,

    I passed the last part of the exam in August 2014. So I have been searching for a job for a month and I haven’t received any interview offer. I am considering to find a professional resume writer to rewrite my resume, but I need some recommendations of a trustworthy resume writer for our profession. Please any advice would be well appreciated.

    Try going (or sending) your resume to the college you graduated from. I know many college's career centers will critique resumes for free (including alumni).

    Did you put in your resume that you passed CPA exam? I think it would help.

    Good idea to go over your resume. If your college doesn't offer any help, then there are tons of resources online. Also, be sure to follow directions the company/business has for sending in resumes. One month looking for a job really isn't that long, so don't loose heart.

    Israiza-forgive me if I'm off on this, but are you from outside the US and is English your second language? Some of what you wrote sounded somewhat disjointed like that might be the case. Seriously though, whether you are or you aren't, I mean no disrespect! Heck, I type too fast on the phone all the time just to realize I left entire words out! If you are, I suppose it's always possible people are crossing you off due to your name and/or grammar (I know that's awful, but doesn't mean it doesn't happen-people have too many resumes to sort through for every one job and will find any reason to throw one aside). If you are, I would absolutely have someone else look it over for proper grammar and everything-doesn't even have to be someone you hire, just a friend would do.

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 72; 87
    REG - 64; 74; 84
    BEC - 88

    Done!!
