Matt,

Even those hott 23 years old is not getting in and it is not who you know but who knows you and is willing to help.

I have applied to over 100 CPA firms and can't seem to get an interview...just a first interview. I had several professional look at my resume and after making several adjustments I am still in the same boat.

To remain sane, I kept saying to myself that the economy is bad and that's the reason but sometimes I am not so sure.

So good luck my friend.
