Question
Hello,i have finished my first year in accounting diploma and i have one more year to graduate.Would you please give me some tips about how can i find an entry level in the accounting field so i can add some experience to my resume.
All jobs i have looked at  require a two years experience at least or more.
Thank you for your time and help.

Answer
It has been decades since I had to look for an entry level accounting position. Not being in the job market now, I am not sure how much help I can be. With that said, I have the following comments.

There are other forums on this site for job seekers, I recommend you asking this question on those forums.

If you are in the USA, check Craig's List for bookkeeping positions requiring minimal experience.

Register with temp agencies in your area; discuss your job objectives with them.

Consider doing volunteer work for a non-profit to gain the experience you seek.

Other than that there is not much I can suggest. Good luck.
