DGazt, I'm not looking for a job but I do regularly look for CPAs or candidates to hire, so let me share a different perspective…
First, your scores look great. And you're through the exam. Yeah! Good job. You have nothing to worry about concerning finding a job.
Second, I think you cut out the middlemen. CPA firms are searching high and low for strong team members. What you need to do is come up a list of 10 or 20 firms in your market and then reach out to a partner at each firm. I think it'd be fine to send an email saying, “I'm a new CPA candidate–just passed the last exam–and I'd like to be considered for the next opening at your firm.”
Third, be patient and alert to the seasonal timing. If there's a mistake that applicants make again and again, it's thinking in terms of their academic calendar and not the work calendar. A month or two ago was good time to find a position… the next month or two is pretty late because the bus has (basically) already left the station.
Fourth I would not worry about a seasonal position vs a permanent position. Get any position with a good firm including a seasonal one… and then impress the heck out of them… you'll find your seasonal position “magically” becomes a permanent position when the “initial commitment” ends.
Fifth and final, be alert to the possibilities of working in a small firm. Here's something that lots of people don't know… The average single owner CPA firm — let's call it a “C” grade firm — doesn't do that great financially and often amounts to a sweat shop. Probably most of those firm owners should simply go out and get a senior accountant job at a another firm. But there within the single owner category, there also are the “B” grade and “A” grade single owner firms that let their owners and staff members make the same salaries and do the same interesting work as larger local firms and then even that regional and national firms do. (At our firm, e.g., we do lots of work for digital economy entrepreneurs with a multistate or international footprint and that makes for super interesting and remunerative work.) Further, going to work for one of these firms is probably the fastest path to partnership… so do alert to positions in those “premier” small firms.
Hope that helps. And again my main message is, gosh, don't worry. You are golden.
