getting a job!!
Permalink Closed


Hey Guys,
Need some advice (AGAIN), I have a merit in Level 1 and Distinction in Level 2 in Manual Bookkeeping and am coming up to taking my exam in computerised bookkeeping.Is this enough to get a job?
Iv no experience in this area as Iv spent the last 9 years managing a betting shop but now want to get out of this industry.
Feel like I should get a good few years experience under my belt before even thinking about setting up on my own.What sort of jobs would you recommend?
I have looked at accounts assistant and purchase ledger jobs but they want experience.Would the qualifications Iv gained be enough to apply for this jobs or when else can I start?
Thanks again people,Ethan

Hi Ethan

It depends on the qualifications you have gained (who they were with) as to whether or not employers recognise them.  Employers know City and Guilds, OCR/RSA and AAT they know nothing about ICB or IAB.

They are also, generally, interested in competency in Sage although some (few) use Quickbooks.

I would suggest that with your qualifications you should be able to get a job as purchase/sales ledger or finance assistant.

If you have any friends or relatives who are in business (no matter how small) you could gain experience by doing their books for them and get this into your cv.

Good luck.
