It can be tough to break into a new market, but your bilingual skills are definitely a huge asset! I’d recommend tailoring your resume to highlight your relevant coursework and skills, and maybe even start with an internship or temporary role to build experience. Networking locally can help too! Do you know anyone in your area who's working in accounting??
Can you join professional networks or go to your local employment office and try to build a connection? Temp work might help to meet people too!!
I would say start with an internship. You need to keep applying jobs on Glassdoor, LinkedIn, indeed. Your resume and cover letter should highlight your educational background and any activities or job experience you had while you were in school. Please make sure any job you are applying, your resume and especially your cover letter should highlight why you want this job and not any other job and what makes you a perfect candidate for this job.
I agree with going to Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor to look at their job section. Use the words "accounting" and "Spanish". Look for staffing agency close to you.
only advice i could give is clean up and tailor your resume to include anything relevant to the role you're applying to. just because it's not accounting work doesn't mean it's not relevant, although verification of previous experience would probably be the bigger issue.
