Recent Grad Looking For An Accounting Job, Help, Advice, Cover Letter?
Si I graduated college this May and haven’t had any luck finding a job. I know its my fault, I don’t have any previews accounting experience and most companies look for at least 1 yr. Only good about me is that i graduated college with honors and that is not helping a bit.
So now I’m thinking of sending a letter to every small accounting form around my area, which are several, and include my resume. Please let me know what you guys think?
Cover letter:
55 Franklin ave

I am recent college graduate from the University of Rutgers Business School who is interested in interviewing for a job position in your accounting firm. If you are looking for someone who is hard working, smart and dedicated I am your man. Please allow me to put into practice all the knowledge that I have received at Rutgers. Let me become a member of your team and allow me to show you what a great asset I can be to your firm.
As a recent graduate at Rutgers University with significant experience in the business field I am sure I can bring the energy and commitment to excellence to thrive in your firm. Rutgers has given me knowledge in accounting necessary to excel in your firm. Also, my job has given me a greater understanding of the business world.
I am fluent in Spanish and English and this could help your firm communicate better with those Spanish owned companies. I am also very computer wise; I am very proficient in Microsoft word, excel, access. I have some knowledge of QuickBooks; it’s a very simple program, which I am sure I can learn very fast.
Since I have little accounting experience I would be willing to settle for a smaller salary than others. I have attached my resume to this letter; please contact me as soon as possible regarding a position in your firm.
Respectfully yours,
Daniel Zerpa
