[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  To the career coach, I do not send resumes to jobs online because that is a low percentage shot.  I research companies and find people who work there that are connected to people I know.

I have sort of an unusual resume in that I did not get the CPA right after college.  Got an MBA a few years later, wanted more of a technical background, and sat for the CPA mid career.  Therefore, did not go through public at a now Big 4.  In terms of controller positions, I have had those interspersed with high-level consulting assignments.  I have a particular expertise with system implementations and process mapping.  Without getting into life issues, I needed to consult for flexibility reasons but really like having a small staff that I can train and motivate along with other controller functions.

To answer the peer question, I was only trying to indicate that I went to a decently regarded school.[/quote]

Career coach here - most mbas take about six months and often longer to get a new job so some is managing expectations.  Network like crazy w mba alums from your school.  The roles you are describing are less common and more competitive and generally filled from within rather than outside - since you want this niche though - if actually hit up the finance headhunters and staffing firms - I never event recommend head hunters for clients Bc it's generally a disaster since they work for companies and not individuals and they waste a ton of time but I've had a ton of clients in dc land in finance roles posted thru those firms and they are pretty senior level ...[/quote]

And sorry for typos at using my iPhone and can't see what I'm typing half the time ...[/quote]
