    Hello

    I am not a finance/accountancy grad and am up to F6 in my ACCA quali, but Im finding it impossible to get some work ANYWHERE. There are lots of accounts assistant jobs posted daily and I have 8 months practice experience but its soul destroying getting constantly ignored.

    Im wondering - Is the fact Im not a finance grad undermining my chances?

    Any advice on how to go about this would be most welcome.

    Thanks

    Job bridge if you are not currently working is a good way to get into a company

    As mentioned above, job bridge or a fas work placement if you aren't working is probably your best bet. There aren't many suitable positions out there at the moment.

    I would say not being a finance/accountancy grad is not really that big problem, they are in the same boat, the jobs just aren't there.

    Just stick with it, and try keep focused on your exams.

    As for the accounts assistant positions posted daily, Id safely fay half of them aren't really positions just recruitment agencies looking for cv's and potential candidates to have on file. Its a balls.
