Hello

In June of this year, i’ve managed to pass the CPA exam. In addition, I should have the CFE exam completed this fall as well as the 150 credit hours.

Is anyone else in my shoes, where they’ve passed the exam and still can’t find work?

I’m involved in my state CPA society, the local chapter of the ACFE, have been networking like crazy, have accounting/book-keeping experience, yet am still having a brutal time finding a suitable ENTRY LEVEL accounting job (1-2 years experience-I have 6 years book-keeping experience and 6 months working at a CPA firm). Honestly, it seems like once you miss that on-campus bubble, the doors to most mid-sized to large firms slam in your face; then, the small firms don’t want to train you, since they can hire people, who used to work at a larger firm. What else should I be doing in my search?

Also want to add that i’m beyond interview number twenty for the past year (non of which have even been at firms).

B=84 This exam was such a b**** that I thought I failed-don't know how these things work
A=76 Slacker I am, I'll happily take it
R=81 I LOVE taxes
F=80 I don't wanna get banned for an expletive I'm thinking with "yea" proceeding it

Woah. 110 hours is crazy. Was everyone just showering and sleeping at work?

Essentially… we were actually considering sleeping on beds or renting a hotel room down the street.
