Hello everyone!
My question today is about internships and jobs in my field of study (accounting obviously). I am currently a junior in college from a good business school. I have several jobs on my resume and good references. What I don't have is any accounting experience. How should I go about starting to find a position that would garner experience? I know of internships, but they are rare at my school and very competitive. I was thinking of walking into some establishments and asking if I could do some basic things around the office in return for some experience. I would show them I'm motivated and willing to learn. Is this a foolish way to look for an internship or an entry level position while I am in school? I just want to know how to get started and serious about my resume so when I graduate I have already hit the ground running.
Thank you in advance for the help and I look forward to contributing here.
