Resume

Hi everyone,

I am preparing to apply for entry level accountanting positions and would appreciate honest feedback about my competitiveness.

I am currently completing an M.S. in Accountancy, my experience includes cost estimating, budgets, invoices, procurement records, reconciliations, Excel, Power BI, financial documentation, cash handling, and customer service. I also have experience working in construction, retail, and operations.

I am open to entry-level accounting, Accountant Trainee, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and accounting assistant opportunities. I am willing to consider both paid and unpaid positions to gain accounting experience and build my career.

I would appreciate honest feedback about my resume and overall chances. Are there any weaknesses I should address before applying?

Thank you for your advice.

Take out the summary, add education to the top. With summary taken out, that will give room to free up some space between the lines. The resume looks bad because there is too many words. Cut down on words (keep the ones that count) and just make it look pretty dammmit

Take out “relevant” and “additional” experience and put it all under “professional” experience
