I want to apply to a financial controller position but don’t know if I even should. I have a Master’s Degree and am going to sit for the CPA/CMA next year. I also have 4+ years experience. I think if I want to have a chance at this I need to make my resume more presentable but is it even possible to get this job?

What is this? This is normal?
