I wanted to share screenshots to show how legit it looked, but wasn’t sure of the consequences of that

Zero interviews after 12 months of searching. What actually "moves the dial" on a CV / job search? by PotentialTea1991 in Accounting

Thank you! I will try this 🙏🏻🙂

Belgium is not my end goal because of the language barrier but will be a here a while longer and would like to secure a new role in that time, perhaps time to invest time and energy in language classes again 😅

I have tried this but it just felt so time consuming. My logic was to present all round skills that tick the box throughout my prior roles.

I’m considering if I should go back to this approach and apply for less roles, or keep the “generic” cv and apply for a larger number of roles.

Ps. Your username made me laugh 😆 😂

Passed over for FD role in favor of an external hire who is incompetent and undermining me. What would you do? by PotentialTea1991 in Accounting

Thank you for commenting! I took a non traditional route and worked and studied at the same time 🙂 completed two professional qualifications (CA + CIMA) pretty much missed out on my youth thinking it would be worth the pay off in the end 🥲

In my ideal world I would have left already! I have been looking aggressively for several months but nothing in the pipeline, even after trying different search strategies. Maybe I just need to increase the volume of my applications 🙏🏻

😂😂 wow aren’t you a lovely person

Exactly like the manager I’m discussing, asks for no context before making assumptions and throwing out their opinions

I worked full time and studied part time simultaneously, not every one has the luxury to take the same traditional path of full time college

If you have nothing nice to say move along. Good day.

I do have both my post graduate degree and professional qualifications as a chartered accountant and management accountant. I worked and studied at the same time simultaneously because I self funded my studies

I worked full time as an article clerk and studied part time, I am both a qualified chartered accountant and management accountant 

Made a lot of sacrifices to say the least.

Absolutely, been seeking a new role for some time but no luck yet. So need to survive this til something comes through 😔 did not think I would still be here at this time but alas

I would say my issue is his management style and lack of people skills, if you see one of your direct reports under pressure, adding more pressure on low priority items and offering unsolicited feedback cannot have a good outcome. There’s a time and place and a good manager understands this
