Part Time Accounting Job Questions & Answers

Where can I look to find a part time accounting job in Houston? The local newspaper and job search engines don't list many legitimate part time jobs. I know of several people (not personally) that do accounting part time, which is what my background is in. I don't think that employment agencies usually have these types of jobs either. Any suggestions?

I am working on my bachelors degree in accounting, and I was wondering if there are any jobs I could take as a college student that would look good when applying for an accounting job when I finish my degree? Since I'm an undergraduate, I know there probably aren't very many, if any. I just thought I would ask!

I would like to give back to this program I attended when I was in high school. This organization helps people that are low-income, first-generation college bound students. With my previous accounting job, I was in charge of doing all the finances for a non-profit organization. This part was easy, but I would like to know how to form my own non-profit scholarship organization. What forms do I need to fill out? Which government branch do I need to get a contact with--Chamber of Commerce? How do I go about this process and what other things I should consider?

I got called for a job interview. Wondering if it would be a stupid move to quit my full time, descent paying job, for a job 15 hours less a week. I'm probably gonna be making less pay too, but I need the work experience to go along with my accounting degree that I'm hoping to have in less than a year. Should i go for my interview? Or are there plenty of accounting jobs out there that pay well right out of college with no experience needed?

I can come across as introverted, and this affects my ability to interview. I know I can do the work. It frustrates me that people less intelligent than me are getting public accounting jobs. Since I'm not outgoing, should I just call it quits and say that I wasted my money getting a master's degree in accounting?

I know that there is more to getting a job than good grades. If I want to get an accounting job right after college, what kinds of things should I be doing? Volunteer work? Acitivities? Would doing volunteer work with my church look good on a resume? I do plan on doing an internship. I could just really use some advice. Thanks!

I just got my BBA (Accounting), and try to go for master. I don't really know what should I go for; Accounting again, or health-care? On which one I can make more money? I am thinking that if I take my MBA health care, then I would have more choices and opportunities on future; Accounting jobs or health care jobs. But I still don't know which one is better. Any common please?

I am a BA in Economics and will finish my MS in Industrial Management with a concentration in Lean Six Sigma very soon. I have been thinking of going to a community college and studying accounting. I understand that I need 30 accounting hours in order to be eligible to sit for the accounting exam. However my question here is I am thinking of doing a CPA Prep Certificate from my community college which fulfills all requirements to sit for the exam. Could I get a job as an accountant if I have the CPA certification but a BA in Economics and MS in Industrial Management? Would the same be the case if I put in my resume "sat in the CPA exam" or "passed 3 of 4 parts of CPA exam" to get an accounting job? I was thinking maybe the LSU Accounting certificate online was more legitimate for employers. Would this be the case or do employers not care? Thank you very much for any answers.

I have both an MBA and a Bachelors in Business Admin from an accredited university. However, I have very little work experience. I've worked retail a a few different places (hated it) and worked as a bank teller for the last year (REALLY hate it). Note: Every job I've had has been part-time. I'm not a social person and I don't like constantly interacting with customers (aka the general public). I thought maybe accounting would be alright so I applied for some accounting jobs and got rejected on all of them. The main reason was I did not have an accounting degree. So with my experience (or lack of) and my degrees what exactly can I do? I'd hate to go back to school and get ANOTHER degree because I've already accumulated like $19000 in student loans. Pretty much the only hobbies I have are read comic books and occasionally play video games. I have very few friends because like I said I'm not social. Oh I should mention that I've applied for TONS of different positions within the bank I work at from auditor, to credit analyst, to loan assistant, to HR, etc. and I've had like 10 interviews and haven't been hired for a single position yet. I believe I need to get out of the banking industry. I'm probably not right for it.

I'm currently a full time student at a community college. I'm doing my pre requisites for the nursing program but I do not believe this is the career path I want to go down. I know the money is excellent! The money and stability is mainly the only reason why I was interested in the nursing field but i am recently looking into new options. What are some good stable jobs that make approximately 65k a year or more that aren't accounting jobs.
