Your GPA isn’t great and Baruch is an okay school.

That combined with the market is hard, NYC is a very hyper competitive market. You need volume more than anything, if you haven’t applied to hundreds of roles it’s not enough.

You’re young with little experience and your resume shows that.
Try the advice from above and apply to hundreds and hundreds of positions.
Also try looking into any finance groups that you can join to gain field experience. It’s not my industry so I don’t know if something like that actually exists (but in my industry of Cheer Instruction, I would be able to shadow classes, talk with other business owners and possibly do some kind of apprenticeship that I would then add to my resume)

Job market

education below experience. Shorten heading to “experience” — but yeah it’s the job market

Recruiter here! Remove your graduation year and GPA from your resume. Also, place your education at the bottom—nobody really cares. Where is your professional summary? You need to create one for each job you apply to, tailoring it to the job description. Lastly, update your experience in your most recent job. Associate bankers have nothing to do with asset under management. Make it more realistic please

I think it’s both. You just graduated college and have little experience. Compare your resume to someone from an Ivy League or target school and you’ll realize why you’re not getting calls. I’d say keep grinding and learning as much as you can. Put in the time and effort and the rest will come. I graduated May 2019 and hasn’t been an easy journey but I’m hanging in there and taking what I can. Good luck 🫡

I would take off that GPA. 3.0 isnt good enough to put on… sorry…

Brother remove your gpa lol

Bro I went to Baruch too

Honestly I’m a broker at the moment and trying to transition out. NY is a hyper competitive market. Nothing in sales nothing translates to other finance. I’m leaning heavily on my skills that I learned in school and outside post undergraduate SQL Python etc to try and differentiate myself.

Resume is fine, i dont see any mistakes. Just need more experience, hard to move after barely a year

My guess is your resume is getting binned by an AI. Some basic tricks is to take keywords from the job listing and slide them into your resume.

You need to either edit your resume or get human eyes on this so you can get your foot in the door. For networking, try starting with Baruch alumni’s, your professors if you still have a relationship there, or your previous jobs.

This makes me so nervous

Move education to the bottom. Add an “about me” at the top where you really sell yourself. JP experience will do wonders for you sooner or later

Your JP Morgan bullets I think should be reworked and better punctuation

Are you quick applying or actually applying? If quick then 1000 doesn’t really mean anything. You should be filling out a Cover letter for each application. Also don’t sleep on networking. I guarantee if you make 10 solid connections you’ll get a job. Lastly keep on grinding. It’s hard to break into finance and accounting in general. Don’t compare yourself to others, just to where you were before. I know you’ll get something just keep putting in the work.

Definetely drop the gpa from your resume all together.
Also, really consider why you want to go from sales to accounting. You should continue to work on your technical skills while developing as a salesperson.
Work on IN PERSON networking and getting onto one of the more entrepreneurial teams (M&a, capital markets etc) at an accounting firm. Every college,including yours, has job fairs. I went to one at my school (non target NJ school) over one year after finishing my MBA and got a few big 4 offers and national firm offers.
There’s many teams within firms that are hiring, but you need a recommendation from someone to get an interview. Work on having long memorable conversations with people at job fairs and whatever other methods you can use. Try to differentiate yourself.
I had several years of sales and finance (commercial banking) experience before switching to tax consulting. The work, in general, is far more technical at accounting firms. You will learn a lot at a very fast pace however, unlike Sales and finance, there is a very clear and steady path of promotion which cannot be rushed.

Accounting is kind of a broad term nowadays, so I’m not sure whether you’re looking to get into audit, tax, financial reporting, or consulting. Regardless, once you’re in a firm, it’ll be much easier to pivot to something that you really wanna do.

The most important thing is not to be discouraged by anyone or anything. This is going to be a long process even after you interview and you’ll definitely have to take a few step back before you step forward. I am a very nontraditional applicant from a non target school and I was able to get a role on one of the most competitive teams in the big 4. Since I work with a mix of lawyers and CPAs – when I started, I thought that everybody was smarter than me. Now I know that everybody brings a different skill set. My time in sales really helps differentiate me from the rest of the team, and my unique perspective has been valuable on certain projects. The reason I bring this up is because this differentiation is what’s going to separate you from the pack and help to overcome your somewhat low GPA. Make sure you have a good story and a good reason why you will be a positive addition to the team.
