He can apply for civil service accounting jobs with the federal government and state and local governments. The more there is on the application, the greater the chance of getting a job as they rank on the qualifications\nDoes his resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what he wants to do. An objective of finding an interesting job in management goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding an accounting job where I can utilize my strong _______  gets kicked over to the accounting dept. Some depts like purchasing also use accountants. Is he only looking at ads or is he taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if he can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Has he told everyone he knows that he is looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

Well, it's hard to help out a guy who doesn't give many details.\n\nIf you're tired of working for other people, then you'll have to do some old fashioned saving, or if your credit is good, ask for a loan from a bank.\n\nStart your own business, like a: I'll sell your stuff on Ebay for you type of thing.\n\nOr if you're lazy, try to hurt yourself and get on Social Security for disability, but they're really stingy right now, so chances are you'd get really hurt and then no one would want to hire you and no one would pay you.

try countrywide home loans. They are usually willing to give accounting degree holders jobs without much experience (as long as you know your accounting, have basic office skills such as typing and using calculators). My friend got a job there checking collateral. She later moved up to working at Warner Brothers as a contracts administrator. Goodluck.

You can start by learning to spell. No one wants to hire a person who cannot spell. Keep the resumes coming. It will get a hit sooner or later..........

I would suggest, start out alone and work until you cannot do it by yourself then hire out. You want to keep you overhead as low as possible starting out. You can easily earn a decent living by keeping overhead down. find creative ways to advertise and do all the advertising you can do within your budget. Research accounting rates in your area- that will give you an idea of where you need to be in order to make a decent living at accounting. Take advantage of tax season and do as many returns as possible.  Give your clientele a reason to return to you.

I'd go to the unemployment office and get that started,  then use their computers to get a different job.  Since I have a college degree and some experience in a field that is in demand, someone would hire me.  Additionally in the meantime I would take classes to develope my skills to get a better resume to be more employable.

The difficulty for me is the inability of so many employers to see past the lack of a college degree and look at job experience.  I came from the UK with an accounting/tax background and have found it very hard to get anything other than clerical jobs.  So I'm now in school full-time, supported by my wife, trying to get the paperwork that will lead to a better job.\n\nSuppose I'd better go and do some homework....

Maybe college isn't worthless but you are.  Sorry, but when an educated person applies for job after job and doesn't land even a restaurant position, you wonder what really is turning employers off.  Telling an applicant that "experience" is all they lack is an easy way to avoid telling them that they have a personal issue.  Look honestly at yourself..or ask a trusted friend to be honest and identify those things about you that make you unhirable.  \n\nStep outside your expectations for a career and look at other options.  Contact the college where you attended and talk with a career counselor.  Attend job fairs.  Move to an area of the country that has more job opportunities.

Alot of hospitals have programs where once your in the door you can bid on other jobs that are usally posted. if you have no degree they also offer different courses that will help you become more educated on jobs that you might be interested in. For starters you could apply for a job in housekeeping.or in the kitchen,or maybe in the cafeteria or gift shop. Once you get in your options already start to get better. They have alot of good payraises,benefit plans,dental,vacation .It's a good place to start good luck!

Congrats on finishing school.  As a former accounting student and the son and brother of CPA's I can only say this.  While accounting and finance careers offer great opportunities for solid financial rewards, understand that success at any profession requires long hours (especially at tax time), diligence, and plenty of continuing education.  Remember also that when you are just starting out you will probably be doing just one thing (financial statements, credit reviews, or some similarly dull function) for a while until you gain experience.  The bottom line is, consider what you would really like to do instead of what you can make the most money at.  If you do something you love you will be much more successful.

You don't say what your degree is in....many jobs require a great deal of experience and aren't looking for fresh out of college folks.  Unfortunately you'll probably have to work your way up to the position you're seeking.  For example, I am an HR major.  I've been told several times that I will most likely have to get an entry level job, maybe even clerical, and work up towards the HR position.  I hope this gives you a bit of insight.  Other than that, are you calling the places you're submitting your resume to??? Try that..

do you have a degree to back this all up? with out the degree you wont get where you want or even deserve to be.\n\nIf you have your degree then go to a collage or training program and ask for the "job test" it is where you sit and answer a million questions, then they put your answers in the computer and the computer tells you where you would be good at. Then you can find a job in what your best at.\n\nif you dont have a degree, then consider school for another 4 years and get your degree, you should complete it fairly fast if you already know it all.\n\nGood luck.

Contact the school you graduated from.  Almost every school has a Career Center/Career Resource Center, and they offer services to graduates, too.  You should be able to work with them to update your resume, look through job postings and get some pointers on the current job market.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps!
