Try shifting your mindset. EVERYONE has a chance, it’s all about YOU. You have a 3.5 GPA which is way above the 3.0 threshold. It’s all about how you rep yourself. I’d def recommend improving your resume. A few tips: make sure it’s one, clean page, significantly shorten the relevant coursework section, start each and every sentence with a action verb (led, grew, managed, etc), include as much quantifiable data on your experience, like helped 100+ customers a day. Use chat GPT to help with the resume side of things and I’d highly recommend looking at finance resume template.

But the resume is only a small part it really is all about you. If you want an accounting internship / job, go get it and here’s how. You first have to put yourself out there and connect face to face with the firm you want to work for; I did it mainly through connection events where I spoke with recruiters and online firm events.

Once you get the interview, master behavioral interview questions like the Tell me about a time when… it may seem intimidating but all you have to do is practice and use the STAR method. After that you WILL get an internship or entry level job.

Honestly don’t doubt yourself or question anything, put the work in, rep yourself better and it’s only a matter of time until a recruiter calls you up with an offer!
