Hi all,
Please join me in sending many thanks to Sherry for sharing her valuable experience to us.
I appreciate she can spend time on sharing her experience to help us. It's her first week being working as a tax accountant. I can imagine how busy she is and not mention she has to suffer such long commute from work to home.
Thanks again and please try to learn from her experience.

Dear Rachel,
Sorry to get back to you late. I signed the contract with my employer on Monday and has started working as a tax accountant in the firm. The company is keen to training me up quickly so that i have been very busy and exhausted from work everyday.
I would like to thank you very much. I appreciate a lot for your efforts that you have made to assist with my job hunting process and accounting practical skill training sessions, which have been the key reasons for me to get interview opportunities and to secure this job finally.
Additionally, my job hunting and interview experiences will be shown below to share with other students.
1. You have to always believe that you are an experienced accountant once you have done Vision Accounting training sessions. All the skills Rachel has taught are how accountants do it in real life. Therefore, once you have known it you are experienced. I had never been questioned when I answered interview questions using course material. Instead, all the interviewers were happy with what i answered based on Rachel’s course material.
2. You have to apply jobs every day. Opportunities may be missed out just on the day when you don’t apply. It would be great if you arrange just 30mins a day to send your CV wherever you can (focus on Seek). For those positions you are interested the most, tailor your CV a bit accordingly.
3. You have to apply every job ads as long as they are within accounting area. Don’t be afraid if you see the requirements of the position sound high or you may not able to do it. Just send the CV through! What you can lose? Only 5 seconds! However, you may get a big surprise. The job i just got is the one i didn’t think i would even be contacted.
4. You must dressed up very professionally when you attend an interview. Just make yourself look as good as you can, this will show you are a candidate who will potentially conduct tasks as good as you can.
5. You are suggested to bring with EVIDENCE( not in your CV) which can show you are an outstanding candidate for the company. You will also need to explain why the evidence is important to show etc.
6. You must read the job description carefully and highlight the key points. What you are going to do with this is that you project what questions would be asked during the interview. If anything related to these points wasn’t asked by the interviewers, you must find a chance to let them know you have the qualities they want. You must grab any chance to sell yourself to them, not just to answer their questions only. (Thanks very much to Rachel for helping me forecast interview questions giving me great idea of preparing it)
7. You must send a thank you letter afterwards. I can’t addressed more how important is this. For positions especially those require “ strong written communication skill”, this is a chance to show your written skill to the interviewer.
I wish all you guys have good luck and thanks Rachel again.
Kind regards,
Sherry

Subject: interview feedback from Sherry
Hi all,
How have you been? Hope you all are well.
This email is sharing the successful job searching experience of one of our trainees, Sherry Lu. Sherry has secured a tax accountant role in a public practice firm. I am so glad she can follow her dream of career.
Sherry took the weekend training course as she worked full time in hospitality area. Even this, she could manage to finish her home work. Her commitment to the course and job searching paid her back. She secured this role not long after she finished the whole course. You might be in the same situation as her. When you complain that no one offers you opportunity, you have to think carefully how much energy and time you have spent on improving your skills and job searching? Just click “send” without putting any experience in your resume and adjusting your resume according to job requirements doesn’t secure you a job.
Sherry has been through a couple of interviews before this one. But she never failed with technical questions. The first one she didn’t perform well was about behavior questions. Good thing was she could learn from the experience and prepared behavior questions very well after this. Second one was with a small family business. She turned off the offer as she though it wasn’t the right one for her. This job was only part related to accounting. After that she nailed this tax accountant role.
Sherry will share more detailed experience with us soon.
Please join me in wishing her all the best.
Cheers,
Rachel Hao
