The market is pretty bad at the moment. See if you can find an internship to get through the door.
Some companies hire recent graduates. Try looking up top 100 accounting firms and check their website. I would also suggest networking through linkedin. Reach out to senior associates and managers and see if someone can refer you for an internship. Interns at public accounting are trained anyways so as long as you know basics of accounting and excel the rest can be taught at work
Look everywhere even Craigslist, that’s how I got my start. And as you work it will get easier especially if you are working on the cpa.
See what your university career office can do (e.g. are there events you can attend? Job postings on an internal site you can still apply for?). Reach out to your former classmates and ask for referrals to openings you see at their company. Update your LinkedIn and mark that you're open to opportunities.
