I mean would depend on company and what job description says but I would say ar or so clerk is just processing transactions - very routine monotonous work. Senior accountant likely involved in month end process ie reconciliations etc

My title is staff accountant in my industry job. The clerks do more of the routine JEs and I create the reports the company needs. Staff Accountant here is almost like a manager role. I report to the assistant controller and controller, more like at mgr and partners. That is how I would describe it. Not perfect, but that’s how it seems here

Sorry, assistant controller and controller are more like the senior** manager and partner

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.
