There's lots of you folks out there who have a lot of educational achievements and significant work experience and would have no trouble filling up (at least) 2 pages. What about those of us that struggle to fill up half of a page? Is that all we do, I guess?
As someone who will graduate (hopefully) early next year, with an ASBA in General Management and a BSBA in Accounting, I'd like to work for an accounting firm. However I'm young and inexperienced.
Apply for government jobs. They instantly recognize a Bachelors for positions all of the time. Apply with IRS, they always look for people. Accounting is huge in the government especially IRS. Also, consider military. With a 4 year degree, you may be officer material. Not a bad pay, plus gain experience like mad. (You say you are young.) How is your physical fitness? If health is another matter, go with government jobs. Your lack of experience is a minor dent. You have age advantage. Another words. I don't feel sorry for your lack of experience holding a Bachelors degree or soon to be holding one within the next couple of years. You can do it!!! Finish the degree. Believe me, alot of places would line up to snatch you without experience just to train you their way. Maybe not quite line up to snatch you but anyone with recruiting skills looks for interns as a great investment. I wouldn't expect top pay off the bat, but you can make a pretty good start with the bachelors in accounting.
