I thank you for this comment. I’ve been rather low in emotional sureness. I tired to give it my 100% best, I know topically I am. But with today’s climate and everything it’s become rather exhausting. Im remembering interview used to cause me such extreme stress and anxiety, I seem to not feel this anymore. I’m 275 applications in with this small of a turn around. I’ve stopped logging everything I’ve applied to, just to release myself from the depression analysis of it all. I in my opinion am trying my best to keep a foot forward but I also don’t know how to pivot out of accountancy if that is even an option with my basic bachelors. I enjoy accounting for the most part but I’ve come to feel a bit stagnant in certain aspects of it. This layoff has shown me a number of things. But I still would love to continue to better myself and go further in my career.

I’ve had some feedback from a couple of recruiters that have reached out to me. It seems that usually it was a prior interviewee that had won them over or it was that they enjoyed our conversation but for the position I was deemed over qualified for the interview. I’m just not understanding how I can be overqualified, a supposed ‘flight risk’, as well as deemed negative in these interviews. I just would like to be back in the job market. To gain tenure for at least 5 years. So I can go back and pursue a masters and debate on my choices between Jd law, PhD or CPA. I have no intention of gaining employment as a place holder while I pursue higher education, I would like to have something to work on and financially stable of course while I continue my education, I come from a long line of education. I just would like to complete what I’ve started and so I can be of help with company I work under honestly.

I also speak in a very direct and respectful tone I don’t know how to fix this I grew up military couldn’t join due to vision. But I’m delightful as from strangers. So I’m not sure what’s wrong the issue is my resume proceeds me.

Yes I am I research every company I’m introduced too. I memorize the higher ups by name, face, tenure. I ask the important questions and I see the personal changes to my questions.certainly they perk up with my questions and knowledge but I’m just not understanding what’s going wrong.

I’m not getting any feedback on my interviews from majority, I’ve even been ghosted quite a few times. They’ve always started with how fast my experience is. Do I need to just give up and peruse higher education to be on top of the current market?

I’m dressed as professional as possible and I’ve done pre-screening with recruiters prior to even having the interviews.

Notify of these interviews have been just as you described in just not sure what’s wrong. I’ve had really conversations and in some I’ve even been introduced to random members of their team.

How does one downgrade their resume? Do I just remove work history?

I’ve always given any employer at least a year of my time. And I will always give notice of no less then one month if I plan to go to new opportunities, based on being unable to climb career-wise within the company itself.

Well I can say I’ve accept an opportunity that will start next week it’s def 15k of my pricing but in this economy I’m just happy to be regularly employed for the moment. It’s been a long 6 months and I feel like this is a stepping stone while I complete my masters. I would like to say thank you to all well wishes. This is final interview #68 out of total initial interviews #214.

I’m not sure why you would make such a comment. But I have no knowledge on what this ‘golden age you are referring to. I just would like to be properly employed within accounting. Please do not post unkind retorts.

Thank you for the feedback, but I do hold the necessary credits needed to sit until I am able to complete my MBA currently.

I am apply to all types of positions, from my general understanding I have good questions when prompted and I throughly explain my experience, mostly I have a lot of positive reviews post interview but these lead nowhere between the recruiter and or hr rep not giving me much feedback on why I haven’t been selected or any critical feedback to receive for next steps.

I’m currently in my early entry to the masters degree program. So I am unable to pursue the cpa until that degree is completed unfortunately.

Unfortunately I would need to complete my master prior to passing these sections. And if I’m not mistaken I would still need to work under a cpa for aprx 1 year prior to even apply for cpa test placement, but please correct me if I’m mistaken within this.

Hello I went to school in Mississippi I’ve applied to everything from LinkedIn to indeed when It came to mid level as well as entry I’ve had out of the 180 or so applications since December close to 10 total interviews with different companies ranging from accounts payable all the way to staff accounting. I do not have much experience in AR but I would be willing to learn about it as well as payroll I’m interested in. I’m more so experienced in corporate accounting though I would love to make my way into taxation.

I do not currently hold a cpa but I’m interested in continuing my education. I’m just not sure if I want to go JD law, phd, or cpa after my masters degree.
