Very interesting thread.
I am not alone and it does not make me feel any better.
I have been struggling for the last 6 months between getting several
part-time jobs to make some $ and finding an entry level CF position or
internship. I got about 10 interviews with local companies that all ended the
same way. "Sorry, you don't have enough experience. Go home, work hard and
contact us again when you are ready."
Let's face it. What company is going to hire an accountant with no
experience and barely any knowledge?
If CF was tought in college we would not be were we are now. We still would
not have the real life experience but we would have a lot more knowledge and
consequently a lot more chances to find an entry level CF job.
I got to a point where I was wondering if I should pay a company to hire me
and give me some real life experience. I would work for freee if I was given the
opportunity (only on-site with a local company). It's either that (and I
agree I would be taken advantage of) or spent another year strugging learning in
6 months at home what I would probably learn in a month working full time.
Why don't we start something.
CF guru could teach one or twice a week and be paid for it.
Example: I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. If an experience CF could give a
class to 10 CF beginners at least once a week and get paid by us (how much would
have to be determined) maybe we would learn faster and smarter.
