Worked as a finance manager for 8 years in this co. Trouble is during the MCO, my boss placed me in a dead end job nothing to do with accounting and i did this job for the next 6 years. Destroyed my accounting career.

Whole day I do nothing but cut cost from other department. Hated this role. Told my boss many times that I wanted to out from this role, but my fault being too good at negotiating budget reductions that he retained me there.

I tried applying out of the company, but with this 8 years experience of doing this sampah job, no co wants to hire me. Making it worse, I am already in my late 40s.

I was too honest in my cv, didn't change it. Felt so demoralized, application after application kena rejected in jobstreet and almost zero response from linked-in.

I have another colleague in a similar predicament as me. He also was made to do dead end job nothing to do with accountancy, and he is a finance manager in my co. He got some job recruiters to "paint brush" his cv to make it look like he does closing work, budgeting, financial analysis, accounting software solutions, audited accounts compilation, internal controls, etc. But when he got his new job, he got caught by his new employers, as he struggled to proof that he could do those work, they investigated him and found that he lied in his CV, and buang kerja him.

So because of this, I am very careful not to lie in my CV and still use that dead end job description that I am currently doing to apply for work.

Still, I managed to get job interviews (not many), but I struggled when hiring manager asked me what I did in my current work. I tried to pitch my past job experience, but they were more interested in current experience. WHen they heard what i was doing is too operational, they just wasn't interested in my application.

And there was those that were interested to hire me: I did a background check on those co, and found that they were making losses, have cash flow issues, in net liability position. I didn't join them as I was concern about my long term prospects as those co show a big worry over how long they can last as a going concern,

And then there was one or two good companies, but they wanted me to work 7 days a week. I didnt' want to work like that.

Just saying, if you have kids or you are going to uni, please don't take accounting degree. I really envy those people in operation. They can so easily find jobs. My colleague even after he retired, because of his experience, his past colleague recommend him to new job. Accountants? Nobody bother to recommend us. We have to apply for jobs if current co no prospects. And then there is that dreaded finance closing. If you enter new company, new industry, you have to figure out how to do closing. Worse of all, if you have to handle finance staff everyday complain to you they want to resign because lack of prospects. When they leave, nobody else know how to do the work, understand the accounting system (so many system out there Oracle, SAP, etc). So you have to placaid the staff. Then every month closing have to stay back until midnight sometimes work in weekend. WHile you see your operation colleagues go back home at 530pm. Then finance environment also not so happy place to work, mostly women environment. I see operation people can go out to see clients, don't have to clock in to office. Everyday go into office have to clock in. Sigh...

So this is story of my life...late 40s stuck can't get out of this dreary company. My CV looks like crap because I have been doing dead end job for 8 years,, no company wants to hire me for my accounting expertise. Sigh...this is my rant.

He wrote late 40's - doesnt mean 40 right?
