List out what types of things you worked on. Familiarity with any complex accounting issues (debt, bus comb, Rev Rev, stock comp, etc...). If you have SOX experience and SEC reporting experience also throw that on.

^ what supervising senior said. Also, if you find yourself stuck on how to put what you did into words, look up your job description on the EY website or on another job site! I don't know about you, but I know I can sometimes struggle with making my resume sound appealing so that's what I've been doing.

Oh and my friend from PwC I guess googled "tax associate PwC resume" and he found a ton of examples of how to word his resume. So that's another option!

I’ve been trying to get into the top tier Associate Product Marketing Manager position Google for some time now for just an interview and I feel like business majors somehow have such a stronger chance in getting interviewed especially my business school and I feel really discouraged as an Econ Major and I have a lot of marketing experience that I’ve built over the years. Are there any non-business majors in the tech realm in non technical positions at Google that can advise me?
