Oh and make sure you have a slammin' resume. Most people think their resumes are great but many times the person reviewing it doesn't think so and that can keep you from getting an interview. I had my resume professionally altered before I applied for this job and it made a difference.

cflas08, great story!

I have all sort of experience bookkeeping, taxes, accounting, acctg mgmt, etc., etc., and i don't want to pursue public accounting at this point in my life ....thanks for the sharing and the advice.

 "chosen from 100's of applicants...." very encouraging from all of us who are looking for a job...

May I ask you do you use to review your resume?? i think it's a great idea to have someone else take a look.

Yes please do stay encouraged because I was bummed out several times before I got this job. I just got a call from Walgreens Corporate office this morning asking me if I was still interested in working with them. So keep your head up, you'll get the job you want.

You can email me at fsugirl2005@yahoo.com to get the website of the person who helped me on the resume because I don't think I'm allowed to post commercial links promoting other sites on here.

Thanks all for your valuable feedback. I’ll definitely send out  some resumes to few cpa firms but just want to wait until I pass at least 2 parts of cpa exam and cflas08, I will also send you an email. Thanks for encouragement

Hi cflas08,

I just sent you an email for the website.  Thank you!!
