Job Search Tip:

Have you considered a job in accounting? The job outlook for the accounting profession is expected to be stable and growing in the coming years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of accountants and auditors is projected to grow about 6 percent from 2020 to 2030, which is similar to the average for all occupations.

This growth is due to several factors, including growth in the number of businesses, changing financial regulations, and increased monitoring of financial activity. Additionally, as the economy continues to grow, demand for accounting services is likely to increase as businesses need skilled help with financial reporting, taxes, and other routine financial matters.

Job candidates with a CPA license or CMA certification have an advantage in the hiring process, but even if you do not have those credentials, you can also do well if you have good hands-on experience with popular accounting software or with spreadsheet applications like Excel. Employers prefer to hire people who are able to hit the ground running on the first day of their job without requiring ramp-up time due to training needs. After all, employers have to mind their budgets and expenses just like people do!

Make sure that your resume or CV lists all the relevant skills or tech experience applicable to your accounting career, as skills and experience with specific technologies and accounting software systems can get you hired for the job instead of another candidate who has a comparable amount of accounting experience similar to yours, except for the particular tech skills that you have!
