Hi,
Im currently studying Level 4 AAt. My problem is that U don't work in accounts or anything similar.
I currently run a cleaning company to make some money, but I would love a job in accounts.
My problem seems to be now that I am in my 3rd year of studies with no experience, I feel the longer it goes on the harder it will be for me to find a job.
Does anyone have any magic solutions for me, or better still if you have a job for me even better, Im in the blackpool area.......
Heres hoping someone has a magic solution for me
many thanks

Hi tehre
How about volunteering for a local charity/church or even offering your services for free with you local Credit Union?
Locally, why not try here:

Remember any finance related experience counts towards your full membership experience.
Hope this helps
Good luck!0 -
Hi,
Welshwizard is right, look for any volunteering opportunity, there must be lots of large organisations/companies in your area? (following a mid-life career change & re-training) I did a few months volunteering in the audit office of a large charity, and it gave me experience which helped me get a job in my current place. The volunteering did involve a lot of filing, and tedious tasks, but this is common to most finance offices, and you can learn a lot from it.
Are there any apprenticeship schemes available? I know that the government was sponsering some places, this may not still be an option, but it worth doing a bit of research.
Do you prepare accounts for your own company? this is all experience, and helps put what you have learnt into practice.
Good luck
