The Staff Accountant Resume
Perhaps you’ve recently graduated with your degree or you’ve been working in accounts payable and it’s time to take the next step. No matter where you are today, if you want to take the next step in your accounting career (or the first step), you’re going to need to now how to write an effective Staff Accountant resume.
Sadly, resume advice has been slow to catch up with modern trends. College career centers still teach outdated practices and the internet is full of tips that won’t help you much. I call it majoring in minor things.
What I’m about to share with you in this book is the culmination of nearly 10 years of resume science based on facts and the multiple perspectives of hundreds of hiring managers and recruiting teams I’ve led.
I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of companies as a recruiter and helping them hire thousands of talented people. In the past few years, I've consulted with dozens of recruiting companies about how to attract and spot the best talent as well. But then I realized that someone needed me more than those companies and recruiting agencies - the job seekers.
As a recruiter and hiring manager, I often spoke with applicants who had terrible resumes but were more than capable of doing the job. In fact, some of my best hires were those who had the worst resumes. But recruiting isn't typically done this way. Recruiters and managers don't typically interview people with poor resumes.
Learning to write an effective resume will be one of the most important things you do to advance your career, make more money, and ultimately achieve the rewarding work that you deserve.
Resumes aren't black and white. There's no one right way to create one. But there are wrong ways. I'll make sure you avoid the wrong ways and I'll show you some options to write a resume that resonates with employers, differentiates you (yes, even if you don't have any accounting experience), and substantiates your claim as the top candidate for the job.
