Here is a junior accountant sample resume that we created for recent accounting graduate. In this particular resume example, we focused on the core skills of an accountant such as analytical, critical thinking, time management, and communication. For the bookkeeper related jobs, in addition the skills mentioned we focused on attention to detail, communication and so forth.
In addition, we wanted to highlight his career accomplishments and quantify them to a prospective employer. Because he is just entering the accounting field and has little accounting work experience, we included his strong GPA to show case his academic achievement. John was very pleased with his new resume and we are pleased to report that she was called for 3 interviews within the first 2 weeks of her job search.
We are happy to share this resume with you as we believe that this is a good accountant sample resume, especially for a junior accountant, bookkeeper, accounts receivable clerk, accounts payable clerk, entry level accountant, or chartered accountant articling student.
When I first entered the field of HR, I remember my dad telling me that “the hardest job to get is your first job”. Remember, that entering a new field with little or no experience can be difficult. So try not to be too hard on yourself or become discouraged. There are many career opportunities in accounting at the entry level. Expand the job titles in your search on online job boards and job search engines like monster.com, simplyhired.ca, indeed.com and careerbuilder.com. Here are some job titles that you may use in your next search that are at the entry level in accounting:
