The Weekly Research Update: Today’s Best Job Advice

From this week’s Research Update. See the complete newsletter here

I’m looking over the responses to our new CPA Careers survey. And one from a veteran senior finance manager at a Fortune 1000 company stands out for its practicality and wisdom. His advice begins…

1. If you aren’t a CPA already, make it a goal.

2. If you need hours, apply to every accounting firm that you could drive to or are willing to move close to.

3. Apply beginning in mid-April, after busy season, when accounting firms clean house.
