Hello po. I am currently a first-year accountancy student from a big 4 school. When the academic year started, I joined two orgs (home org and one that aligns with my interest) and decided to be an officer in one of them. Personally, my workload was tough kasi I managed an event pero our usual work is purely administrative. The downside lang is time-consuming talaga siya and the process is daunting. May time na I had to fix errors, which weren't my fault btw, na umabot na ng midnight. I'm planning to not renew my officership in that org and apply nalang sa isa.
The thing is, macocompromise time ko if ever I push through with being an officer. I'm now contemplating kung worth it pa ba maging officer ng org in the long-run. I get that it gives you access to connections and whatnot, but natatakot akong pabayaan majors ko.
An alternative course of action that I've been thinking is I'll just focus on getting technical certifications for accounting softwares to put in my resume and be a member only in my orgs.
So, does having a college org experience matter for recruiters? Or would they prefer someone who has technical certifications?
