Hi
I am currently looking for another job and whilst I have had a few interviews ( aided by the fact that I have my AAT qualification) employers are asking for experience in computerised accounts, namely 'Sage'. I have nearly 10 years experience of working in finance in the public sector but this lack of experience in 'Sage' seems to be my downfall. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of how to get around this? Thank you.

    You could try the Sage self study courses which are designed to lead to Sage certification.

    Have you experience with another accounts package? If so, talk that up. Once you've used one, learning another one is straightforward.

    Abrupt but absolutely spot on, Dean. Seriously, what else did the OP expect as a reply?
