Make you out some jist cards. These are cards with your information on it(name,phone number. Put your objective on it just like a resume and list your skills and what you want to accomplish; take them around to different accounting places(look in the phone book if you have to) and just pass out your card. The cards are a little bigger than a 3 x 5 index card. Preferably something colorful(eyecatching).

Why look at just accounting firms. Many firms do their own accounting and may be willing to take on an intern. You may find you can learn alot about the real world of accounting in a real business. Lots of places to look. You could be doing the basic bookeeping to be turned over to the accountants, which will save your employer money in paying the accountant. Look around. Walk in a ask. Present yourself.

Hi, I am a student at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond and I recieved an email about an internship last month. It's been a while, but you can try I guess. I am a finance major and the person who sent the email is from the Denham Springs office of Republic Finance. So I suppose if you have a background in business it will help. Anyway, I'll copy and paste the email below:\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------\nThe Denham Springs office of REPUBLIC FINANCE is hiring for an intern with a\n    title of assistant manager.  The job would include loan production and\n    collections as well as filing and answering phones.  Your graduation date does\n    not matter, however full time employment after graduation is a possibility. \n    The compensation is $7-9/hr. with the possibility of bonuses based on office\n    productivity.\n    \n    If you are interested you should send a resume and cover letter to Elisa Russell\n    at elisarussell05@yahoo.com with a subject line indicating internship program. \n    You  may also contact Ms Russell at (225) 665-3777 (office phone), (225)\n    667-0501 (fax) or at 654 South Range Ave, Denham Springs, LA 70726.\n    \n    Sincerely,\n    Dr. Lewis\n\n----------------------------------------------\n\nI'm just a freshman in my second semester, so I didn't try to get this internship. In any case, you might try and contact them and see if they have anyting open that you could apply for. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

I've been a hiring manager (in accounting not investment banking) for years, and we were generally looking for people right out of school.  I'd tell you that your internship and experience you picked up there are extremely important.  For one thing, you've already gotten your feet in the water in the business environment.. plus they can call the folks at Merrill that you worked with and ask about you.\n\nOn the other hand, 2.1 is *quite* low.  If I got a copy of your transcript (and I would, you can be sure) and saw all C's with a scattered in B and a scattered in D... I'd wonder if you had adequate foundation and understanding to do the work.

Write a thank you card to the hiring manager.  You never really know how much of an impression that makes, even years later.\n\nFind, and keep looking for, reasons to give the person a small communication, ranging from "I'm in the area, is there a good place to go to lunch" all the way to "I'm thinking of joining the local chapter of the American Accounting Association (or whatever field you are in!"  What are the meeting like?\n\nA low-key mentoring relationship could be a big help for you (or someone you know or meet) that needs a place to work.

Talk with your career center at the college you are attending or even at colleges you are not attending.  Companies that are looking for interns generally notify the colleges.  \n\nAnother option (besides friends and family member referrals) is to start knocking on doors.  Look in the Denver area and identify a few companies that you are interested in and call.  Try to focus on industries that you might want to start your career in.  If you like the advertising industry, focus on them.  If you want to get into the Government - contact City Hall or the State Capital offices.  If is education, you might be able to intern at your University.\n\nAlso, don't overlook non-for-profits organizations.

Leverage your taxation experience!  Next month is the start of "high season" for tax professionals, so the job hunting should be good.  Most accounting firms, and accounting departments of companies, need people with  experience in that field.\n\nEmphasize your taxation experience on your resume and look for accounting jobs that need taxation experience.  Do a search on Indeed.com or your local Craig's List to see who is hiring.  Or, look up accounting firms in your location and just start calling them to see which one needs people with taxation experience.\n\nUse the tax experience to get your foot in the door - even as a temp - work hard (and as well as you can), and you'll probably get an offer to stay.\n\nOr, go to H&R Block or another company that helps people file their income taxes and get work through next April (in the U.S., anyway).\n\nGood luck!

Probably not. Internship are usually reserved for students or recent graduates in order to GAIN work experience. It sounds like you already have it. You will just have to keep applying for jobs and hope for the best.

Visit the career service center of your college.\n\nIf you aren't in college (which you should be if you want an internship) type in the nearest big city and internships.

For the long run the intership would be better for you, first very few interships are paid. Most are volunteer. Or skip out on the internship and get a part time office job somewhere on the campus. Preferably one that is close to what your degree is in. If you're an accounting major try to work in the accounting office, ect.\n\nAlso, you're very lucky your family is taking care of your expenses. However, if you're on financial aid you have to start paying back your student loans six months after completion of your degree. Whatever you do in life do not default on your financial aid, it will hurt you and follow you for life. Also, your family needs a bit of a reality check. Your first job out of college is probably not going to be enough to cover all of your expenses until your first two years or so out. If you can find one right out you're very lucky. Good luck!

You might be able to get a paid internship or even a loan.Ask your college

Locate the accounting firm that you want to work for and ask them what educational requirements they require.\n\nYou may be surprised to learn that they only require a High School Diploma or GED.  The reason for this is that they have in-house programs and would prefer to train you on their systems, rather than have you educated by someone else then have to spend months reprogramming you to how it is done in THEIR company.

I would look for a summer internship in the chemical engineering field. That is how you get a job in nearly every other degree field.

Accounts & Tutions will be good. You have to try for the same.  You can try with auditors for accounts and go through news papers for tutions.
