Question:
should I becoma an Accountant ? Accounting Professional Resume ?
The only bad experience I have had has not been able to get an interview
for a job in the profession for the last seven years.
That tells me your resume is lacking or contains something negative,
or you may be seeking positions for which the resume shows
insufficient qualifications to warrant an interview.
Answer:
-I've heard that garbage before. had the resume done up by a
professional resume person who also worked for Half. Half has their own
version which they send out and it gets no takers.
I've never been very good at kissing butt. But I do agree with you,
ability has absolutely nothing to to do with get ahead in large
organizations. I've met very few GS-14s and above (way less than five)
who had the basic skills to get out of the rain but were able to coast
along on their social skills. It is the main reason so many
organizations are so screwed up these days.
Getting an interview is impossible. One last year, and he didn't want
anyone who was competent as that might be a threat to his position.
(There is a lot of defensive hiring going on these days.) Your running
into three and four hundred resumes these days, for poorly paid jobs,
unless your operations is absolutely crap, and everyone knows about it.
I've found that being ethical, honest and forthright is the easiest way
to kill an interview. A.L. is on the button when he starts talking
about the prevalence of soft fraud. (I think the proven track record of
a lack of ethical behavior was what got all those Andersen folks hired
so quickly.) But what the rip, why tell you, your in D.C. where
corruption is only a matter of degree, and who gets to call it corrupt.
-With all the grant and subsidized loan money out there, you can now
study anything you want. I met a unemployed math teachers who borrowed
$10 or $20k to go to a certificate program to become a programmer. He
is to old to get a job as a programmer, but he got the money and into
the program without any problems.
Want to become a lawyer, a doctor, an accountant, if you can get
accepted, you can get the money.
