    Jobs in accounting and bookkeeping
    Are you tired of applying to accounting ads?
    Getting accounting jobs is a numbers game. Here are a couple of figures to keep in mind:
    -100-200 people with credentials just as good as yours apply to every position advertised
    -A hiring director looks at your cover letter for less than 15 seconds to decide if they’re interested
    With these facts in mind, how do you plan to beat these odds? And how many jobs have you already applied to, with no response?
    We are here to give you the advantage. For a fee of just $100, we’ll give you the inside track on which companies are hiring accountants and bookkeepers, and make sure they see your application first. We also know how to make you a cover letter and resume that stands out immediately.
    Our clients get callbacks in days, not weeks. And many are working at their new career in just a few days. Call us when you’re serious about finding an accounting job.
