開始找工作 - day 6

媽媽回國了，婆婆到了，緊迫感加強。也開始思考沒有經驗如何找會計工作。

今天收到第一份拒信，沒有麵試機會呀。

 

搜到以下建議，還是很值得借鑒的，也許要先找些即使沒pay的工作，先累計經驗。

Step 1

Complete your high school or general education studies. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers prefer that applicants without prior accounting work experience have a certain level of formal academic study. Additionally, if you don’t have an offline or online post-secondary education, pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree, or coursework in accounting, auditing, finance, taxation or business.

Step 2

Work as a paid or unpaid intern in a company's accounting department, an accounting firm, private Certified Public Account office or related business, such as a tax office, to gain practical experience and job networking opportunities. If you can’t get an internship, offer your time as a volunteer helping a local non-profit organization, such as a church or fundraiser, handling financial transactions or accounts to gain experience.

Step 3

Apply for a different type of job that matches your skills, education and background at a company where on-site training or education reimbursement opportunities for career advancement exist. If you already have a job at a company offering a current or future accounting position that interests you, speak with your direct supervisor or human resources about the steps you need to take to one day get that job.

Step 4

Review your work history of non-accounting positions for instances when you handled or managed financial transactions or accounts, such as during work as a phone-based customer service representative, retail cashier, restaurant waitress or office secretary. Emphasize these duties on your resume and during the interview to show that, although you’ve never worked in an accounting position, you do have previous experience with accounting.

Step 5

Promote transferable skills and traits, as well as any that match requirements for the accounting job -- even if you don't have all of the ones requested. Some employers will disregard a lack of work experience if an applicant has a solid academic background in accounting and enough specific traits and skills the employer deems important, such as a friendly personality, detail-oriented mind or strong organization, mathematics or communication skills.

你說的一點沒錯，我可能定位有問題，應該對自己更有信心一些，挑戰一下。謝謝一直的鼓勵！

其實我倒覺得volunteer的會計工作到不比正常工作好找呢，嗬嗬，人家看你條件那麽好，又不要錢，人家不敢用你呢：）。其實你的想法我一開始找會計工作的時候都有過，我才這麽說的。但事情不是一成不變的，看你怎麽把事情說的make sense了。
對了，除了你前麵說的找工網站，careerbuilder，craiglist都是不錯的招工網站。indeed好像更偏重高科技工程師什麽的，說的不對別見怪啊。
祝你成功！
