The chief accountant is one of the few professions in which explicit gender discrimination is present. It is believed that it is much easier for women to "cook" in this kitchen, and the peculiarities of the structure of the nervous system are named as the reason. A man is a vector creature, it is physically more difficult for him to simultaneously conduct several cases. And although this becomes possible with experience, employers in the capital are in no hurry to consider the stronger sex as a worthy candidate for the post of chief accountant.
Instructions
Step 1
Your chances of successful employment depend on three factors:
• Specialized education;
• Work experience;
• Number of prospective interviews.
If a vacancy is considered within the framework of Moscow and St. Petersburg, then the presence of registration at the place of residence (in the common people - permanent registration) in these cities significantly increases the chances of getting a job. A temporary document with the red seal of the FMS, in fact, does not give any concessions. Registration may be required in other cities, it all depends on the internal policy of the company in which you plan to work. And although, according to the law, this circumstance should not in any way affect employment, employers successfully disguise it under the inadequacy of the position: insufficient experience, education does not suit, etc.
Step 2
A portrait of the ideal candidate for the position of chief accountant:
1. A woman over the age of 35;
2. Permanent residence permit in the region of employment;
3. Work experience as an accountant in different areas for at least 5 years;
4. Higher education in economics, qualification - accountant.
How much your parameters correspond to the presented portrait in order of importance (1 is the most important point) depends on the time of looking for a job and the number of attempts to get a job for a vacant position.
Step 3
Make a resume, you can't do without it. There are no special requirements for its design for candidates for the position of chief accountant, so use the traditional plan:
• Personal information (full name, date of birth, place of residence);
• Contact information (phone number, email address);
• Education, incl. Courses and trainings;
• Professional activity in the relevant order over the past few years (if there are many jobs, then indicate the main ones, you should not write more than 4-5 places);
• Character traits, strengths and weaknesses, knowledge and skills.
Be sure to use a photo that clearly shows your face. It is best to attach a color image taken by a professional photographer. But you can also amateur, it must be of good quality and carry a positive charge.
Step 4
Register with reputable job search sites. Employers interested in qualified employees prefer to post information on open vacancies on them.
Step 5
Publish your resume, make it visible to everyone, make it stand out if possible. This will increase your chances of getting a job sooner.
Step 6
Begin an active job search. You should not hope that a company interested in the chief accountant will find you on its own from the posted resume. Proactive action is the key to success. If you have a main job, then make it a rule to send information to at least 10 companies every day and make the same number of phone calls, if there is no permanent place, increase this number to 35-40. The first offers will arrive soon, and you will independently choose the place you like. Usually, it will take at least a month from starting a job search to finding a job as a chief accountant.
Step 7
If you are a man, then there will be no problems with employment in the regions if you have specialized education and work experience. In the capital, in the absence of registration in the region at the place of work, your chances are zero, with registration - they are slightly higher.
