I've tried so hard to start an accounting career. I studied Economics in uni but because I had a decent grasp on accounting principles in secondary school decided to do aat 2 and even became an unpaid trainee as an accounts assistant. Regardless of that, still no jobs. Did I go about this the wrong way?

Maybe… How do the accounting firms recruit in your country?

I have no clue, I'm just a graduate. The only thing I know how to do is to apply. This is for United Kingdom. I also thought my CV was terrible so I got a professional to rework my CV. It was completed last week, and I hoped I would've gotten something positive, but was wrong

Can folks share their experiences of working during 2nd and 3rd trimesters? How hard was it? What accommodations or adjustments did you make?

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.
