My first job is with a small firm, the second job is a mid-tier firm.

The key is the small firm has to be able to provide you with all the necessary trainings and your client base can't be too small. IExperience with ndividual tax returns and sole traders doesn't help much.

Hi Purplenight,

Thanks for your reply.

My firm is small, but I worked with partners. We do more in business part. Majority clients are SBE, however, I deal with medium to large size clients as well and all type of entities. My boss also agreed to be my referee, he said my experience is like 6years from somewhere else.

Even though I asked my boss if they could provide me with some trainings like seminars, there was no response from them. So I was doing training myself by enrolling the CA course. I learnt from assisting other assistant accountant and senior. (I trained 4employees during this 3years) One good thing is I like to ask questions and one of my bosses always provides me with good answers. He said I am aggressive.

I hope one day I will be proud of my previous firm and my bosses will be proud of ever having an employee like me.

Those questions are normally asked by agents or potential employers

What software do you use?
How good you are with excel? VBA and pivot reporting?
How much is your client's turnover?
What industries they are in?
Are you qualified or nearly qualified?
Are you CPA or CA?

purplenight

Just assuming your answers are

You are quite good with APS, you are good with basic excel, but not VBA or pivot reporting, you are CA are in the middle of a CA program, and your clients are big enough to have payroll tax, FBT, involving consolidation and cash flow reporting, you have a good chance with a mid tier firm.

If you don't know APS at all, but you are pretty advanced with excel, and VBA and pivot reporting, you are a CPA or nearly qualified. I suggest you go straight into commercial. Really, I guess more than 80% of mid tier firm staff eventually end with a commercial job. so why take a detour?

My answer is,
I don't know APS, VBA and pivot reporting at all
I have advanced skills in Excel
just started CA program
my clients are big enough to have payroll tax, FBT, involving consolidation and cash flow reporting.

Thanks for your suggestion.
Go straight to commercial is another career path, I am a bit of nervous about that....

you not belong to mid tier, you belong to 2nd tier, hehe

Then the main drawback thing is APS system. I'm not sure whether there're some workshops out there providing ppl with APS trainings. But I guess there should be something like that. Why don't you take a few days training at the workshop as a necessary investment ? Then you are familiar with the most popular firm software and can put that onto your CV as well?

But have to be cautious. I know when my firm check reference, the HR actaully asks the ex employer what kind of software they use...

purplenight

oops, i always thought mid tier is second tier, which are BRW listed firms from the no. 5 to no. 50, or no. 100?

kaixin123

That's a good idea.   Thank you Purplenight!

亲爱的楼主,我现在也是在CA公司工作了3年,很想去COMMERCIAL试试.
看你找工作的情况,我都不敢去申请了.是不是COMMECIAL的公司不愿意请在PUBLIC做过的啊?等于没有工作经验?
别灰心,接着发RESUME,一定会成功的啦~

kaixin123

不灰心，谢谢你的鼓励 ：）加油！

对啊~我也这样认为的~毕竟在FIRM做过,看的帐多了,TAX & SUPER都有经验,对做COMMERCIAL还是应该有帮助的.
因为很多前辈都说在FIRM做个3-5年的,就跳COMMERCIAL.
FIRM真是太累了,TIMESHEET就能整死人,而且薪水也没有COMMERCIAL那么高.
等你找到工作记得回来报告哦~~那我就有信心啦~~做的不开心就跳COMMERCIAL~~加油!!!

如果选择了回头，算不算是我放弃？

中介很讨厌，总是认为辞职了再找工作不正常。lz 继续加油发简历，不过要想好怎样回答这个问题，中介肯定会问。说服不了他们的话很难拿到 offer. 加油！
