looking for a new job in a accounts/ finance environment as the job i am in just now i can't seem to progress, doesn't seem like i'm going any further. i think getting an accounts apprenticeship would be my best bet but i don't have any good school qualifications. every time i look for a new accounts job the job spec has more experience than i know. Like the discription on the job mentions something i have never done before? i want to learn more things. i have been for a couple interviews and everywhere says i need more experience. how do i go about doing this? how can i get experience if everywhere is asking for experience? xxx

Hello Danni,
I hear your frustration. Have you tried to apply for some voluntary jobs on a finance role? That would help with the experience you are after.
Also, in your current position there's surely a chance to progress. Have a chat with your manager, express your intentions to keep studying, learning and taking more responsibilities. Maybe that will help.
Persevere!
