I recently graduated with my bachelor's degree in business, specialization in accounting. I already had an associate degree in criminal justice. I've worked at a police department for 12 years as a dispatcher and recently worked a remote position doing fraud investigations for 1 year. Everything I apply to I seem to be getting turned down for. I want to continue pursuing fraud investigations and work on getting my CAMS certification. Any suggestions? Remote work would be ideal.

What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
