Dear all,

I hope everyone is doing ok. I need some advises, and I hope someone here can help me out. I could not find any job in public accounting or accounting related work when I graduated from college, so I decided to take the CPA exam. Later, I found a full time accounts receivable position while working on the exam. Fortunately, I passed all four sections of the exam in May this year, and I believe this is an advantage for me to land a job in tax or audit. However, after months of job hunting, I only had one interview so far and I did not get it. I am totally confused. I don’t know what is the reason why I am not getting any interview. I even applied for regular accounting job but the result is the same.

Thank you

Samson

Concentrate your efforts on talking to someone… anyone.

Find a recruiter on Linkedin. I cannot stress how much more effective it is to actually speak with someone, introduce yourself, give a quick summary of your experiences, tell them what you think would be a good role(s) for your next move, and then inquire about current/upcoming openings.

This is 2014, why are you mailing in a resume?

Stop applying, start NETWORKING.

Good luck
