I think it is perfect that you can stay in a company for 15 years. It shows your perseverance. However, a bachelor’s degree may not be enough. You can show what you are going to do, like learning some new skills? Are you going to be a CPA? I think people expect more. You have to convince them that you are valuable to them. For example, you will stay in the company for a long time after the training. You will be a valuable asset for the company, something like that.
Thanks for your input.
When i go through hiring, I look at longevity. Most times nowadays people have less than a year for each employer. Having 3+ years is a positive for me. Having 10+ years, I expect to see promotions and a lot of talking points. If I see little to no activity on both, I tend to pass on the candidate.
There isn't. I would just recommend you think about/be prepared to address the question, if it comes up.
It could be. They may think you’d be looking for higher pay than they think the job requires
I'm not looking for more pay, I don't mind making my current salary. I just want to do something different and have the potential to do it. I have been in the insurance industry for too long, and I want to learn about other businesses and other accounting programs.
Go out for your cpa if your company won’t pay for it look at accounting groups that offer CPA scholarships. I happen to know AFWA does
Get your CPA then look for assistant controller positions
When you say you aren't getting a chance, what does that mean? Not getting interviews? Or interviewing, but not getting offers?
I agree that earning your degree while working FT is a significant accomplishment, but how is your resume telling that story? You can't assume that the person reviewing your resume is going to intuitively understand. Also, it's important to list accomplishments on the job like, "increased sales by 20%" or "reduced errors by 50%" or whatever applies to your situation. Don't just tell people what you do. Show them how you do it better than others.
