SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

 

The websites www.careerbuilder.com, www.directemployers.com, www.monster.com, www.nationjob.com, and www.bls.gov helped me the most.   I found many jobs in the accounting sector such as junior accountant and senior accountant.  Many of the jobs required a year of experience and at least a bachelor’s degree in accounting.  The job outlook for the accounting field is closely related with business growth.  Because it is important for business to have accountant and the more business there are the more accountants are needed in the work force.  The more training an accountant has the more her salary is.  On www.careerbuilder.com I found two jobs I liked, one is from www.roberhalffinance.com and another is from www.accountemps.com both are accounting companies looking for senior accountants.  I want to apply to those companies when I get my degree.
