Hello all, I am new to the boards. I am new to the job market as well and could really use some advice. I am an accounting major and although I am not quite finished obtaining my degree I would like to start seeking employment in my field. My work experience is unrelated and feel that it is hurting my prospects and my resume reflects that since I have no accounint experience. Could someone take a look and give any advice if you see it is necessary? Thanks
