Do you think it would be awkawrd if i asked my husbands accountant for work experience?
That's how an ex-colleague of my mine got her first job in accountancy. She'd been a client of the accountant for several years and she expressed an interest in accounting. The accountant recommended she look at the AAT, which she did, and then she volunteered to do a day a week in the accountants office for free. I believe she did this for about 3 months and he then offered her a full-time paid job. I think she's still there now.
Great way to prove yourself, if you can afford to offer your time for free!

O wow! Thats interesting, i might have to ask.. Well i'll speak to our accountant when i'll hand in my husband's end of year books at the end of May, than i can speak to him directly. I am willing to work for free, if someone will take me on i am desperate to get in some work experience
Yes i am with the ICB. I have previously looked out for some networking down in kent area but they always seemed further a field. I will take a look at the link now.
That's the thing who can work full time unpaid for 6 months while still incurring costs such as travel, lunch even childcare, this is what makes getting the right experience so difficult. You cant get a job without the experience and you cant get the experience without a job unless you are willing to live on bread and water for the next six months while living under a bridge.
Was just thinking maybe these kinds of adverts are commonplace. Perhaps you could search for similar nearby. No harm in inquiring Neil, but you'd have to go in with the idea that you'd learn a lot even if there was no job at the end of it.
Yeah i understand that Tim, i also understand that i would have to live with having Rickets and Scurvy but i have emailed them just in case there's a possibility of part time work at present or in future, unpaid voluntary of course.
