if u are happy at ur current position, i wld suggest that u stay on for the time being as the economic is heading towards a slowdown in 2007...

u might want to hold back ur urge to switch to another job when u have completed ur ACCA and when the economic is better...

a working experience made up of short tenure (1-2 years) is not what employers are looking for

Cont with your job to earn $$$ for your ACCA fee

on the contrary, i believe job market has been picking up. at least it was much better than it was in 2004.

making a career switch is not easy plus employers will ask. Be prepared with an intelligent answer when they ask. Sell your strong points and dun shy away from entry level jobs. the idea is to get the experience in the field u wan to be in.

shinta SG

hmm when they ask what do i say?

even accounts assistant for o level ppl get paid higher than me Sad

shinta SG

nobody?

maybe you can say "My previous job required me to to fastidious & meticulous about my work. I believe you would find these qualities to be very important as a ."
