市场上的人实在是太多了。很多时候接受一份相对初级一点的工作并不是一件坏事，既有机会挣钱，又能提高技能。要有耐心，多留心工作中的新领域，不断学习，机会会来的。祝好运！ -johnlinvancity(JohnL); 2013-10-31 (#77073@41)

我不觉得＂就低＂是一个好主意，特别是CGA Level ４了，你就是申请AP，AR，人家还会担心你overqualify，干不长久。 LZ的情况，找中级工作不应该比找初级工作更难，如果语言还过的去的话。 -jinx99(FAPI); 2013-10-31 (#77077@41)

谢谢99的鼓励。我在尝试，但无果。不知道是不是经验太浅。怎样可以在简历上下些功夫。知道坛子里高手如云，很希望能被点拨一下两下。 -llwto(llwtg); 2013-11-1 (#77083@41)

简历隐去私人信息贴出来看看。 -jinx99(FAPI); 2013-11-1 (#77087@41)

我觉得LZ那段bookkeeper的经验大部分其实也是accounting clerk做的事情，要申请General Accountant，估计得在账、报表、资产、HST等方面多润色一下。 -morningglory12(morningglory12); 2013-11-1 (#77118@41)
我觉得你写的中规中矩，却完全没吸引力。全是AP，AR，难怪人家General Accountant 不找你. 如果你想申请General accountant, 就先去网上看些General Accountant 的JD，看看别人的要求是什么，再把自己的工作从新写过，写的要match JD。 -jinx99(FAPI); 2013-11-5 {1065} (#77224@41)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛多写Analysis，Financial statements， trial balance， general ledger...CGA Level 4 了， AP，AR就不用老出现了, 还写那么详细. 个人意见, 写AR aging report这一level就行了。

好好改改简历，粗看没吸引力，细看每个字都很别扭，你说的话，每一句都要明白自己想表达什么，为什么要这么说，怎么能抓别人眼球。

HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS- 或者是HIGHLIGHTS 或者是QUALIFICATIONS，多余的字，没意义的字，一律删掉。顺着红卫兵的思路:

- 2 years of Canadian experience in Bookkeeper and 2 years in Accounting Assistant
想说什么，想表达什么，是不是说自己有加拿大经验，如果是，直接写. Four years accounting experiences including Financial reporting, Financial Analysis and General accounting. 都HIGHLIGHTS了，就别HIGHLIGHT AP，AR了，要写大的方面。

- Possessed bachelor’s degree in Economics; currently working on CGA level 4
有点儿多余，一顶要写就写"Solid knowledge of Canadian accounting principles and standards and CGA Ontario student currently enrolled in Level 4 "

底下的一句一句，一个字一个字都理顺了。网上其实有很多东西，一Google就出来了，但怎么用自己要想清楚。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

谢谢John的安慰。只是小公司AP pay 的很低，好公司要求SAP 经验。其实真是市场选我，不是我选市场。也很怕自己好高骛远。 -llwto(llwtg); 2013-11-1 (#77081@41)

a little suggestion for your resume. -johnlinvancity(JohnL); 2013-11-4 {658} (#77182@41)
reorganize your bullet points, put senior level type of point on top, eg. HST, filing, Payroll, etc assuming that you know how to do them, or can pick up quickly, normally you will have time to learn while working.

leave the ones that you are more familiar (ie. those of your routine jobs in assistant role) such as matching invoices, coding etc) at the bottom.

correction, Highly skillful in ... not high skills ...

sorry I did not read it through carefully, I am too busy these days, but would like to give you some ideas to think of.

good luck, keep working on your skills, it is your skills and experience that determine your career future.
简历每次修改都应该找一个英文好的人把一下关，会计坛我经常看到很初级的英语错误，比如底下的 I'm interesting （这个绝不是我见到的第一次）。我觉得初级的英文错误是一个 big turn-off，尤其是会计。 -wincity(红卫兵); 2013-11-5 {914} (#77185@41)
• Highly skills in Accounts Payables, Cash Applications, Reconciliations, and General Ledgers
should be Highly skilled, 另外那些复数听起来别扭。

• Possessed bachelor’s degree in Economics; currently working on CGA level 4
Possessed 在这里相当别扭，不如除掉，分号别扭，不如用逗号。

• Proficiency in using Excel and able to create formulas, tables, V-lookups, and pivot tables
Proficiency and able，很别扭，and 不如改成逗号，或者用 dash （-）。

• Strong interpersonal skills, efficient communications and able to work independently or as part of a team
skills 跟 communications 并列，后面又跟 able 并列，别扭加别扭
efficient communications 是什么意思？是不罗嗦吗？你是不是想说 effective？

• Solid organizational skills; effective at multi-tasking within deadline driven environment
within 不如 in a，分号别扭，不如用逗号或者 dash

建议你找一本英文写作的书看，几十页的，一两天时间，肯定值。

兵哥这次说的很到位，常常有人抱怨发了简历没人看，没人找自己。那简历也得先让人看的下去才行，第一个spelling mistake，超过三个别扭的表达，简历一定进垃圾筒了。 -jinx99(FAPI); 2013-11-5 {110} (#77230@41)
有次PM，可能本意是想说＂你的帮助对我来说很重要＂结果我看到的是＂...very impotent to me...＂你说我还能说什么!!!

Here is my feedback, hope it helps. -torontomontreal(torontomontreal); 2013-11-4 {485} (#77183@41)

Resume is very very important if you don't have any connection. If you can, please have someone who is really good at English edit your resume. You don't need to mention your two year Canadian experience. It doesn't make you a stronger candidate and it only tells people you are new to Canada.

Focus on the industries you have experience with and the size of company you worked for also matters. Recruiters prefer candidates from the same industry and similar size companies.

" Recruiters prefer candidates from the same industry and similar size companies. " 太对了。我最近有个面试就是被这一条刷掉的。 -prettyleaves(autumn); 2013-11-5 (#77192@41)
