Landing a job while studying
I’ve been actively applying for entry level positions as accountant or audit or the big 4 in Bahrain for more than a year, mostly through indeed or linkedin but I NEVER received any response.
I’d like to know how people are actually getting hired in these roles because there are lots of non-bahrainis in the field so i’m sure nationality is not a limitation.
Suggest methods work best (walk-ins, referrals, agencies, or direct applications) because i already tried applying thru indeed and linkedin and connected with some industry ppl on linkedin too. But no response.
I also applied in other countries through ACCA Careers but I never got response. I doubt I will because I have no prior practical experience in the country I am residing in.
If you know companies currently hiring or places where applications are more likely to be noticed, I would really appreciate if you could share them.
Any real experience or practical advice would help a lot. I am pursuing acca and currently done with 4 exams so I have the RQF level 4 diploma also.
I want to pursue work along with my studies in order to support myself and since I am doing acca it would be better and was always advised to me to gain practical experience as soon as possible.
On a side note, does doing a course in Python programming help make me a better candidate?
