Youre fresh out of school with a good degree, internship exp, extracurriculars and a 3.7+ GPA

[The5thLetter]

Lord knows.

I've prepared for hours for some of these jawns.
I've webcammed myself practicing answers
Lord knows I'm fresher than a muhh when I walk into the room
I'm tired of shaving my beard
I've left interviews feeling and knowing that it couldnt have possibly went any better. Didnt make the final round
I've been in interviews where I'm in a suit talking to people in jeans and an american eagle polo...not even making eye contact with me
I've left interviews feeling like it coulda gone better...but this job I have now was one of them.

I am clueless...and too broke/prideful/cynical to even pay for one of them coaches.

Sounds like you're doing everything right. Finding a job that suits you can take time, and the applicant pool could have very well been competitive, so don't feel too bad. What field are u looking into?
Also, are you practicing the common types of questions that will be asked, and having your best answers ready? There's lots of interview guides out there, just search some and keep your head up

*Edit: also when rejected, it doesn't hurt to ask for feedback on what you can do to strengthen your candidacy in the future, or mistakes you've made

It's not you breh

Go for a lower position?

The last one was a position that HR told me to apply to themselves @ Canada's largest construction company where my pops works.

A lower position defeats the purpose, might as well stay where I am at now if thats the case.

Lacking experience.

Like I said breh I've practiced answers for hours and even webcammed myself doing so. It is what it is, time to go for broke and do it my way


These are the struggles of new graduates. I'm going through it so hopefully a lot of yall wont have to.

If somebody told you life was fair they lied to ya .

Breh you need to improve your networks, get to know people in the firms you want to work in, talk to your old classmates who got into these firms and ask them for advice. My sister got her accounting job by one her friends at college who "knew" the boss. (Probably sucked his dic at one point)

 

[↓R↑LYB]

They told me accounting was the way to go in highschool . I was a math whiz I shoulda went into Compsci or Engineering then got an MBA.

Eat breh

I've had a director in Canada's largest investment bank recommend me for a position only to be told that I still have to apply online.
I've had HR TELL ME to apply for a position at a firm my pops works in. Interviewed with ppl that have worked with my pops before...still no luck.
Lots of people I know who got their jobs didnt know nobody until they hit up the same networking events I did. It's irrelevant when dealing with the cognitive biases of an interview.

This stress is too much a nikka might have to start smoking weed yall

Spoiler

just kidding

I've been pursuing the CPA but you need three years of work experience and $. If you get into a registred training office in Ontario the firms pay and provide the exp. Thats what I'm trying to do for the most part or at least get a job where I make enough $50+K where I can save up and pay on my own. But it's easier said.

Gotta keep grinding

Lacking experience.

I got two years and I apply for jobs that require such.

 

[Snoopy Loops]

Take 2-3 shots of henny or vodka before your next interview.. Trust me you'll ace it

Oh don't forget the mouthwash

 

[Ohene]

Sounds like my summer ...had one recently... I'm waiting like

Somebody's gotta eat fam. If it aint me, hopefully its you

You move breh. I was in the same position as you and was literally going to accept a shyt job for shyt pay. I said Im better than this, this will start me on a path of mediocrity that will be hard to break. I literally picked up and moved 3 days later with no promise of anything. Sat down and stalked linkedin. Figured out what ppl did before to get the jobs i wanted found out where they used to work and looked into opportunites there. I did that for 3-4 hours a day for like a week and built a database of companies about 100-150. Sent out inquiry letters to all got about 15 interviews. I ended up going with a guy i had met before but taking a leap andchilling for a month i got offers for 20k more than what i was initially going to take.

Your a black male with a 3.7 accounting degree you should have your pick of the litter. join organizations look at NABA jobs HBCU connect jobs get in touch with every recruiting agency where you want to work. I know RYAN accounting hires nikkas all the time. Keep pushing man bc once you get on a career track its hard to get out of it. Nikkas are natural born hustlers just use that mentality with getting a job and you will be good.

Good luck
