Hi everyone,

I am an ACCA affiliate with a bachelor's in business commerce, actively applying for internships but getting no responses. Since I have no prior experience. I'm wondering what i can do differently-resume improvements, networking, or other strategies?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Since you already have a bachelors degree, you should be applying to full time entry level positions, not internships. Internships are for people who are still in undergrad who haven’t gotten their bachelors degree yet. You were likely auto-disqualified for internships in general.

Ideally you would have gotten an internship before graduation. The next best thing is to apply to any entry level job that relates to business until you land one (even if it’s not directly related to your major), stay at least a year for your resume experience, and use it as a stepping stone to more relevant roles/higher pay.

If you haven’t already, Go to your local/state government job site, and apply to as many jobs as possible that’s business related. A lot of state jobs underpay and short hiring windows and therefore have lower competition. They are usually looking for just a bachelors and maybe some accounting hours. Stay for like 1-2 years minimum, work up to bigger roles .

Also try credit union/banking jobs too. And make sure to always apply directly on company website

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

I just accepted an offer in writing. The new job will start the background check next which I’ve been told it may take a while to complete.

I don’t anticipate any hiccups in the background check but is it wise to wait until the background check is complete before turning in my notice?
