Maybe you need to relocate to a place where there is more demand for cpa jobs.  Go through  recruiting agency.  It's about finding the right fit.  

I've applied at places throughout the country.  I don't want to relocate without having a job because I know I will unemployed for at least six months, maybe longer.

I got my first job here in North Carolina without moving here. I worked with a recruiting agency, and I had to fly out here to interview in person, but it worked out well for me. I know other people that have done the same thing.

I have no problem doing that.  My problem, as @sactowndog said, is that I can't get a job.  I've lost count of how many CPA firms I've interviewed at.  The fact that I got my current job was hard enough, and I was unemployed for nine months before I got it.

What grades did you get in your masters degree?   Have you considered getting a doctoral degree and increasing your expertise in some areas?

I got a 3.75 GPA.  I got all A's and one B.  I'm not interested in getting a PHD.  I need real world experience.  School only gives you the conceptual framework.

Sure...   try the services mentioned.  For example Alaska might need CPA's.  But increasing your specific expertise won't hurt either. 

 

Here is another place you can contact.   They specialize in helping people with Asperger's find work.

No.  It was ten courses.  Seven were accounting, and three were non-accounting.

I was approximation of my GPA.  It might have been one or two hundredths of a point lower.

It would have been a 3.9 if all of your courses had the same value

To get a 3.75 with all As or Bs you need to have 3 4.0 credits for every 3.0 credit. 

For a 30 credit hour master's that would have had to have been a 7.5 credit course...

We utilized a +- system if that helps any.

I've been involved in our hiring for well over 25yrs.  Character, people skills and fit are significantly more important than GPA.  Your ability to work with and for others while making them appreciate the interaction is critical.

I guess I better took a hard look at the autism website.

what a loser

Actually not.  I'm guessing he has Aspergers and almost 80% are unemployed.   So he is in the upper 20% which is pretty damm good.  

He should get a definitive diagnosis and turn to the link I provided which could help him get the initial job he needs. Quite frankly compared to his peers he is doing pretty +++++ing well.   I suspect the organization  I posted will be able to help him.   A good percentage of the board are accountants.   

Ignore Joe @ph90702.  He sometimes gets his panties in a bunch but he's basically a good guy.

And he has character and fit.  People skills are a challenge but so are other disabilities.   He needs to become such an expert in an area that no one cares about his people skills.   

I mean let's get real.... do you want your estate planned by

1) a person that knows all the intricacies of the tax code, how to help you, and is a bit off personality wise

2) a really nice guy that may not completely know what he's talking about.     

I'm taking the first guy.   Get a diagnosis PH and contact that link to get a job.   If you do estate work ping me on this board.  I'd be happy to be one of your first clients.  I think you'd do a kick ass job!!!

Sorry, just saw this. No, that wasn't my intention. There is just this stereotype that all people with autism are geniuses, and that's not true.

There has to be something else there you're not telling.  It's rare that an organization would can someone for a "one off" incident. Most would warn, document and monitor.

I work for a non-profit trust fund that provides benefits for union employees.  It is funded by employers who employ these employees.  I am an auditor and make sure that the employers are paying us correctly.  My long story is below.

My coworker and I are working on different audits of different casino properties, but they are owned by the same multinational casino brand.  Therefore, we are utilizing the same employer contacts to complete our audits.

Back in June, I went to complete an audit procedure.  It started at 8:30, and the employer's office didn't open until 9 am.  I called my employer contacts, and they didn't pick up the phone.  I had to wait until 9 am for the office to open.  I told the receptionist that I had an 8:30 am meeting.  She stated that she would go check.  I can't remember what she said, but I went to her several times for updates.  Obviously, I wasn't happy because I got no prior notification that they were going to be late.  I got another individual involved who was not associated with my audit.  After he got involved, I finally met with my employer contacts.  They were only about 75 minutes late.

This Tuesday, my coworker went to perform an audit procedure with the same people I met with back in June.  I am convinced that they complained about me to her and that she went and told my boss.  The reason I say this is because I was scheduled to see these people again on Wednesday.  However, my boss said that she was going for me.

Yesterday, I asked her what was going on.  She stated that I was under investigation regarding my conduct towards that employer and those employer contacts.  She did not go into details, but I know her boss is aware, and I believe that HR is involved.  My boss and her boss said that I'm just supposed to sit there if an employer contact is late, put on a smiley face, and do nothing about it.  That is antithetical to how I am, as I am about punctuality.  I asked how she found out about the incident back in June, and she stated that she isn't at liberty to say.  I know that my coworker ratted me out because the incident happened over a month ago, and it only came to light after she went out and saw these people.  She could have just kept her mouth shut because there's no way that they told her I was not welcome back to see them.  They sent me a confirmation and directions on how to get to the HR office at the property I was auditing after my coworker finished seeing them.

I asked my boss point blank if I'm getting fired, and she stated that she doesnt know.  She stated that a decision may be reached tomorrow.  If it's not, then it won't be reached until the 21st at the least, which is when she gets back from vacation.

How f*cked up is my company that they would consider firing me for complaining to a receptionist about my contacts being late and giving me no prior warning?  Do the employer contacts have some balls for having the audacity to be angry at me because I was mad at them being late and giving me no notification?  How f*cked up is my coworker for ratting me out to my boss when she didn't have to or need to?

I like how most people try and make themselves appear better than they actually are on the internet but ph seems to go the other way.

I do sense a common thread

Boss - girl

Coworker- girl

dating and relationship issues

ph and girls... oil and water apparently. Maybe you should try boys.

I've had incidents where people I dealt with didn't know what I was asking for, but I've never had people complain about my behavior.  I have not spoken with my coworker in a week.  I will only speak with her in cases of business necessity.

I've never forgiven her, but I will never forget.
