Hi, I just recently graduated from a state school with a BBA in Finance and on a job hunt still :(….Recently I have even tried applying for bookkeeping jobs (seems like a boring and repetitive job though). I am planning on taking night classes to finish my 7 more accounting classes I need to get a CPA. I have no relevant work experience in the accounting or finance field, just your avg. work from students ie..Warehouse worker, customer assistance associate (from a market), cashier, and painter, plus experience in the army (leading a small group of people and all the other stuff that comes along with being in the army)
The question I have is if working as a bookkeeper for 2-3 years would maybe enhance my resume? I eventually want to get something better obviously but I have heard from some people that being a bookkeeper is not that great of a resume builder , especially since I have my Bachelors (might look bad that I took the job)
Anyways thanks to whoever tries to answer my question..It’s really hard finding a job out of college :(, even most bookkeeping jobs ask for experience O.o. It’s really annoying since I could easily do bookkeeping stuff, and if not learn it really quick since I have taken like 5 accounting classes, ranging from your basic accounting courses (which a bookkeeping job would entail) to classes like Cost Accounting and Accounting Information Systems.
yeah..I think it’s too late already for me to get an internship since I graduate…well I already did lol I have my ceremony this saturday.
Also I could “afford” to not work right now since I still live with my parents…at least for 2-3 months. I am just wondering if getting the bookkeeping job would help me out at all or should I wait?
yeah sorry TheBansh I didnt want to come off as being too high for the job since I am willing to start out at the bottom but only if it will help me out in the future. (meaning no mor warehouse general labor jobs or jobs like that for me)..I do know that alot of stuff in accounting or even finance is boring and repetitive and I have no problems with it but I do eventually want to get something better than a bookkeeper..Anyways thanks everyone for your answers.
oh yeah p.s. I do have “some” experience in quickbooks since I actually had to do a presentation on it for one of my classes. Keep in mind I havn’t worked on it for a long time but it seemed really really easy to get to know..all I did was do a whole accounting cycle and other stuff (setting up vendors, AP,AR , etc..) and it was easy. Actually alot of the accounting software seems easy enough to learn the basics if you have any accounting background.
This is the first time I have been asked to make a balance sheet because the old bookkeeper quit. I have never done one before so I’m learning as I go.
first - Accounts Receivables are monies that have not been paid yet? (invoiced customer but they havent paid)?
second - If the company has not rcvd the money, and all that is owed shows up on the balance sheet, is there some place where it gets offset so that it is not included in income?

I am possibily looking to become a bookkeeper at an elementry school. Pros and cons? For the school system as well as bookkeeping???
This course is offered online at many colleges by Gatline Educational Services and I want to know if it is a good choice. Cost is $1700.
I am going to be taking basic accounting class next semester. I am not sure if its hard to find an intern doing bookkeeping. Without an intern is it possible to find a part time as a bookkeeper if so, how long did it take you to find one?

In the good old days, it was common for any doctor to be accosted at a dinner party and treated to a litany woes. Today, even a layman has come to realise different doctors belong to different specialisations and a dermatologist is as different from a pediatrician as a plumber is from a fireman.
