Instacart Saw an opening for senior cost accountant. I had some industry accounting experience prior to specializing in tax at a big 4. I'm looking to transition out of PA and tax, what can I do to help my application stand out? Is it likely they would take a chance on me even if I don't have the exact experience they're looking for? (some background on my qualifications/experience: BS in Business Admin/Finance, BA in Actg., Masters in Actg, CPA with 2.5 years at big 4 and 2 years industry)

Sorry I know this is probably harsh, you have zero shot at that job. It’s fully remote, which means they’re going to hire someone highly qualified that can step in on day one and perform well. Remote jobs are just so competitive, they’re gonna get a thousand applications that have experience more relevant than yours.
