So, once again guys, tip number two, make achievements very specific. We went through this into detail in the employment history, but I want to go in detail specific for accountants, you want to show off your achievements. I'm gonna repeat this lesson and say that most resume writers and print their roles and responsibilities and they forget to put in their achievements because what happens is most managers know exactly what you were doing in that particular job let's say you're a bookkeeper assistant accountant most system can jobs is similar, maybe the industry mindset and analytics and the different you know, stock and stuff like that is different for the particular industry. That's fine, but understanding of your roles is pretty much managed to understand. So what they'll be more impressed by is what did you accomplish in that particular on so we want to go through some Let's just say you do have three, four, you experience some things that will make you look good.

For instance, have you an example of something that you may achieve doesn't count accelerate the month end closing process to the calendar day of every month. Okay, so maybe you sync the month and closing process to like the tent can't do every month. And you provided timely and accurate financial reports on operating entities and capital projects. Okay, that might be an achievement. Or perhaps you develop financial controls to make sure that that is successfully scaled as the company grew from 10 million to 25 million of revenue per year. And no material weakness noted by the auditors during this period.

That could be another achievement. Let's just say you've been working with risk and financial controls. Or you initiated strategic revenue planning and forecasting on a forecasting team for gross revenue, net revenue and gross margin while retrieving information from Oracle. So perhaps you were In the more strategic management accounting space and interim analysis and you you initiated this forecasting, better forecasting, better budgeting that made your forecasting more accurate than before. So these type things that you want to show off, okay? Or perhaps you did a management accounting thing and you save money for the company by by noticing that they are spending on things that they need to need to just question costs.

Okay, so this is great things for the accounting industry.
