Job advice

Yea, but like I said I’m posting in different forums. Have a couple post in Reddit. just trying different avenues of advice. So far seems like I need to revamp my LinkedIn reword my resume, I’ll need to call the school and see what resources I can use to find a job. I hate accounting to be honest it’s pretty boring work. Just found it easy because as long as you follow the rules can’t fuck it up. Plus I need better health insurance and I’m tired of renting. I want to buy a house before I’m 40. And Long Island is expensive. Plus I need more hobby money. Would love to try out some of the better women out there.
You could try using your accounting degree to try to get a better job within the same industry, at the higher level. Or talk to your boss about possible promotions. Remember, closed mouths don’t get fed.
As far as your résumé, speaking from personal experience it could take three or four complete rewrites to get it right. Just remember that people hate to read, so keep it short. And try to quantify your accomplishments. Example. Delivered an average of 55 orders on daily basis, contributing to cutting of order fulfillment timeline by 1 day for the business unit.
For LinkedIn, Just make sure there’s no gaps in your employment history. Even if you have to put in student or homemaker in to make sure there’s no gaps in your employment history. For the job description, just put 2-3 sentences that describe your Accomplishments at that job. It’s fine if it’s nothing too impressive, the main point you’re trying to communicate is that you contribute to the company. And again, BE BRIEF, people hate to read.
good luck!

In my role in management where I had final say in hiring higher end people, I have read perhaps thousands of resumes over the years and perhaps one in 10 got the applicant an interview.
The function of a resume is not to get you a job; its function is to get you an interview for a job. Period. At the interview you will have the opportunity to elaborate on line items in your resume and detail how you will add many times your cost to the company to the company's bottom line.
This may seem like nitpicking but it is critical:
"delivered an average of 55 orders on daily basis" is a strong concrete statement of your accomplishments — "contributing to cutting of order fulfillment timeline by 1 day" does nothing. It is fluff. For example the guy who kept the printer paper from running out also contributed to cutting of the order fulfillment timeline. Another fluff, nothing statement is: assisted the design team in meeting milestones. You get the idea.

Drive by any post office and see large Employment Opportunities signs.
My mailman looks haggard from the excessive # of hours and days he is required to work. He says evetime someone retires it takes a long time to get a replacement and the remaining guys have to pick up the load.
@joeyboy Do you see this happening ?

Yes- one of the issues with the “younger generation”… Gimee, Gimee, Gimee, before they prove themselves and put in an honest track record of work—
UAW striking.. one of the issues they demand is a 32 hour work week!! Wtf.. I think many of us ‘seniors’ did 32 hours in 3 days—
Before my post gets removed
Plenty of jobs for the taking -
One just has to invest legwork and perseverance—
If I had to do it again, and did not have the professional degree, civil service would be the go to

I’m wondering if accounting will become fully operational by AI within 5-10 years approximately. I can’t see how a data entry job can’t be done by artificial intelligence fully within a decade or so or am I way off base here just like commercial driving for trucks 10-15 years maximum then that’s taken over by AI after they test it work out some kinks pass some lawsuits and legislation etc no?
