Introduction
Before I post this I just want to clarify it is not a sob story, and it is also my first post to steemit. The first of many I hope.
My name is Zach, I am about to graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and have some pet peeves with the industry. A bunch of my friends from class graduated about 2 months ago, only one out of about 10 of them has found any related experience work and its in auditing his least favorite accounting field. 4 years ago when I started my degree the jobs were very plenty, literally companies dying for employees; now i'm graduating on the other side of the coin, all employers want 2-4 years experience.
Now for the real purpose of this post, is there any recommendations anyone on this blog for gaining the needed experience to get into an eventual job. My University has a job posting selection, with 1 position for volunteer experience available at this moment (for the last 2 months). I had applied to this, to no obvious avail.
By the way as this is my first post and I want to get to know some people on here, some of my hobbies include gaming on the PC (Starcraft, League of Legends, want to try Overwatch so bad) soccer, camping, outdoors and me and the girlfriend have 3 cats we adore.
Look forward to reading some posts/replies to my own post.
Zach

Thank you for the post, it was a great read!
Just ignore the requirements of experience in the JDs and try to get the job you want.. You can do it!
Although I agree with this statement, I am not certain it maybe it has something to do with I am not done my degree till the end of the month, but I have already been applying for a few months (preemptively of course) to no avail. Also as you have said, regardless of the listed experience I apply, it just hasn't translated into anything yet.
I am wondering if I should do what many of my friends haven't, as most employers seem to direct potential employees through a online application system, and just disregard them stating that and march down there with my cover letter and my resume and demand to speak to someone in either a HR capacity, or someone who can help me.
Most discussions of this kind of topic online seem to go back to the "try and try again" methodology, but as steemit seems to have a lot of creative ideas I was hoping for something that worked for someone in particular. Even if its not a universal method.
Great to have you here!
