I've been applying for entry level CPA Path roles for the past 1 and a half years but I got no responses until last month. 3 screening calls with 3 different firms, one resulted in a final round interview. I reached to the HR today and she very casually informed me that they decided to not move forward with my application. This is my last year of study. I don't know what to do. I've been blaming myself for the longest time and I honestly have no answers. What am I even supposed to do. I can't even get my CPA on my own because I need to work with a firm but these firms just won't take me. So what do I do?

Should I just start applying by changing the 3 to 4? Does anyone know if they even look at the transcripts? I know I'm good at jobs just not a psycho who studies everyday and doesn't have a social life. I'm worried I might get blacklisted. But then I'm not getting any job offers, I graduate soon and it leaves me with two options. 1. To seek employment in retail where pay is very low. 2. Leave canada to search employment elsewhere. I read an article recently which said people are leaving canada because of the really tough job market. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:My bad guys! Accounting jobs in Vancouver with a CPA track. All firms require you to fill out a form which asks for your gpa and transcripts attached. Not a lot of other jobs ask for gpa I know that but in accounting that's the norm. These 4 gpas get you an interview call for sure every fucking time. And I'm wondering if I put 4. something on my form would they even bother to go through my transcripts.

I am a 26 M, in the last 6 months of my accounting studies to get my CPA prerequisites done and am looking for entry level accounting jobs to get my CPA designation. Any help is welcome. I have an engineering degree along with 2.5 years of experience as an analyst. I scored 8.5 on my IELTS.

I've tried networking, Tailoring resumes, tried to beat ATS, build connections and relationships but haven't got a single interview call yet. I'm good at public speaking and am actually a very confident individual in public settings. However, the current situation is very demoralising. If anyone has any leads, recommendations or know anyone who can help me out then please reach out.

Thank you!!
