I will be graduating in may with a bachelor's in accounting. I didn't do an internship and didn't participate in any organizations so my resume is pretty much blank. The university that I'm graduating from has a great business college. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a job and if I do, I don't know if I can perform all the job requirements. I passed all my classes with A's and B's but started to lose interest in accounting. What will I be required to do if i do get a job? I'm worried that because I lost interest in Accounting and didn't pay attention that much, I won't be able to do my job.
USA What can I expect after graduating?

In general, for entry level accounting jobs the boss will tell you what to do. You will need your basic accounting and Excel skillset. No need to worry about developing a new brilliant accounting policy - that will not happen at this point. But if you continue to show no interest, things will not go well......

You need to look for entry-level or junior-level jobs to start. I can't speak for every accounting company out there, but if you came to my office looking for a job, I saw you serious, and you showed to be responsible and to have a clear idea of what you would be doing, there is no reason not to give you a chance.
Conversely, if I see you insecure, lost in the space or irresponsible, I would think it twice... or more.
It depends on your attitude, in my opinion.
Hope this helps.

Great advice guys!
Remember, it is a VERY competitive job market out there. 1 in 10 doesn't have a job and would do almost anything to have one. If you don't stand out from the crowd as exceptional, you will fall into the pile of resumes.
