Looking to make a move either to another firm or internal audit, but after a few months of applying to multiple roles that seemed like a perfect fit based on my experience I’m having little to no bites. My areas of focus are IT Internal Audit, Risk Management, SOX, and everything in between. I keep up in training in emerging tech and am a CISA and currently studying for the CIA challenge exam. Have about 13 years of experience and an MBA with a focus on accounting. Any tips or tricks anyone has?

Use a recruiter if you haven’t already, they put your cv right in front of the hiring manager.

What city?

With this many years of experience, I think if you’re not talking about your experience in business development, engagement profitability, and how you envision technology enhancing the work, you’re looking at the wrong jobs. 13 years in and getting a new certification may be a sign that you’re a technician or “doer”, which is fine, but in vast abundance right now, especially outside of the US.

I am planning to leave my firm after busy season and I am wondering if I should let them know this is my last busy season or stay quite and just give my 2 weeks after busy season? I really like the people I work with and I think I could boomerang (read to many posts of people who boomerang and I fit the "type"). Should I tell them know or just stay silent and give my 2 weeks notice?

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery.
