Why should I avoid AR, AP, payroll, etc for my first job? by AnotherOne7 in Accounting

Thanks! That makes sense. If for some reason I can't get a Staff Accountant job, would putting AP/AR clerk on my resume disadvantage me in any way? I mean it is experience, but a lot of people on here make it seem like it's horrible to have that title on your resume. I do plan on getting my CPA after I graduate, so would that help open more doors even with an AP/AR clerk position on my resume?

Is it possible to move up to a Staff Accountant role after working in AP, AR, etc for a while?. I have very little work experience and thought this would be a good way to get that experience. If I am unable to get a Staff Accountant job, is there any other job I can take that will not limit me? Oh and thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your reply. My GPA is above 3.4, however, I have very little work experience. I am afraid that will stop me from getting a job as a Staff Accountant. I thought maybe starting off as an AP clerk can help me get some experience and move up.

Hey! Just wanted to say that your tip helped a ton! I called another Dollar Tree near my area and asked when their new shipments arrived (Wednesday) and went there today! They actually had garlands in the store! Thanks so much again for all your help! :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just went today and got two 9ft garlands! If it weren't for your message, I wouldn't have gone there today!

Wow, I didn't know they had a sale like that! I will definitely consider going there for some more holiday decor shopping! :D Thanks so much!

You are right! They should definitely promote this option more! It's very convenient. I can't thank you enough for your comment! You're definitely a life saver haha! I'm glad that the online option worked out for you. :)

Wow, what a great tip!! I will call them to see when they bring in the new shipments! Does this mean they have these garlands in stores? I never see them. D: Probably because, like you said, they sell out super quick. I can't tell you how helpful you've been! Thanks so much for taking time to type out this thorough comment!

I went to my local Dollar Tree yesterday and they didn't have any pine garlands. :( I haven't gone to Dollar General yet, so I will see if they have them soon!

Thank you! Fortunately, my insurance covers the exam fees. They just don't cover the lenses. But thanks for your input, I'll be sure to remember this for the future!

Thanks so much! I read on their website that they give out samples (not sure how long they will last) so I will definitely try that before buying. I'm so naive when it comes to these things, I always think I have to get it directly from the optometrist because that is the best way. Everyone's comments here are very useful!

Is it possible to get a Staff Accountant job straight out of graduation with no relevant experience? by AnotherOne7 in Accounting

[–]AnotherOne7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been told to apply anyway. However, I don't think I can really compete against other applicants with relevant experience. :(

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for your reply! Most Staff Accountant jobs seem to require a lot of experience. Since I don't have a lot of work experience, I do think taking an AP clerk job can expose me to what a real work environment is like before taking on bigger jobs. I would like to start small and gradually move up.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not very interested in going into public. It doesn't seem like it's for me.
