I'm starting Monday as Accounts Receivable clerk. I feel I'm going to be a complete idiot, like "d'uhh". I dont really like office work because of all the phone usage lol (I hate talking to people). But i'm sure i'm going to love the accounting aspect of things. I just want to impress but thats going to be tricky if my nerves get in the way any tips and suggestions to make the first day of my first 'real' job go smoothly?

What is another term for an Accounts Receivable Coordinator? I have an interview coming up for this Accounts Receivable Coordinator job. I recently graduated out of college. It starts paying $15/hr and it can go up to 38k per year. Do you think it's a good starting pay? I want to know if I can get a better job with better salary someday. Should I work 2 years there as an Accounts Receivable Coordinator? I am 25 years old now, and if I work 2 years there, I would turn 27 years old. Someday I want to get paid $20-25 an hour working for another job. What jobs should I look for after the 2 years there? Thanks.

I recently lost my job, like most others, and want to change my course a little bit. My previous job was with a mutual fund company in the shareholder services department. I realized that i really liked working with numbers and money. So I have been looking into the accounts payable/receivable field but I have no clue if there is any kind of training or classes, or certification required to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated!!

I am applying for a clerk position and came across this question on the application. "Please indicate your experience with handling and recording accounts receivable transactions." Does this just mean being a cashier or exactly what does it mean?

I have a B.A. in Economics already. Some of my friends with the same degree landed the job already, but I just don't get it. People said the two subjects go hand in hand, but I don't see anything similar. I am taking Financial Accounting right now, and plan ti learn Quickbook soon. Hopefully, that will work out.

What happens on the first day? I'm assuming they show you how they do things and explain your job duties. I'm just really nervous I might not know how to do what they ask me to do. This would be my first actual accounting job. I know that most of my duties will consist of inputting invoices, forecasting receivables based on the aging of accounts, and calling people on the phone :( checking on receivables. I'm really nervous...

I'm filling out an application for a photography studio and I have to take a math test, the only problem is that I have no idea how to do almost any of it, fractions are my worst and I've been out of school for two years. I was just an Accounts Receivable Clerk and there is no way that photographers in studios have to do more math then Accounts Receivable does right? (Accounts Receivable is Accounting)
