    Hi

    I'm looking for some advice from people in the accountancy profession. I am in Financial Service for six years. Most recently I've been in Reconciliation, I reconcile multiple deposit bank accounts and deal with the usual issues surrounding that.

    I recently completed a part time degree in DBS in Accountancy and Finance as I always wanted a more solid and promising profession. I'm currently 27 years old. I am exempt from the fundamental levels, and plan to start P1 and P2 in January after a small break from studying.

    Anyways, I have started looking for an entry level job in Accounting. It doesnt have to be anything specific, ideally I'd like a Management Accounting role but I will take anything to get my foot on the ladder. I'm more than willing to take a cut in wages too. I've been applying for Trainee Accounting roles for 25-30k and I have been getting nothing back. I know Funds is an option, but its all round Accounting experience I really want. Getting stuck in and all that :)

    Can anyone please give me advice on getting my foot in the door, places to look etc. I'm keen to get going and learning ASAP.

    Cheers!
