[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]55, CPA with MBA from top 15, sometimes top 10 school.  I have a financial reporting and technical accounting skill set where it is acknowledged that there is a shortage of people.  But who is going to hire me at my age if big corporations are where most of this activity is found?  I have to work at least another 10 years.  I have been consulting through some agencies but the insecure work situation is killing me.[/quote]

I would like to add, you need to offer and stress your knowledge, experience, and what that translates to for an employer:  more accurate reporting = better ability to make and manage decisions = reduced concern over fraud, theft, allocation to other resources.  I too am over 50. The issue is not your age, I think(and hope), it is simply to show and display what value added you are bringing to the equation.  While accounting is overhead, it is also necessary, for tax purposes, mgmt information. Stress not just your skills and knowledge, BUT, your ability to train others, reduce haedcount, help boost profitability, etc. Also, this is not calmly, but whether you work at a big corp, or, in some temp agency, I think the concern and fear out there exists in both environments. The reality is, the job market BLOWS. The ability to move around is now so limited.  [/quote]
