I graduated from college 2 years ago and shortly after graduation I began working at a small local CPA firm. The work load was not too difficult and I could perform what was asked of me. I begin applying to larger and mid size firms for the opportunities, different industries and the resources. I began working at a mid tier firm and I had no issues before busy season started. I did not perform as well as I wanted to and what I know I am capable of doing. Unfortunately right after busy season my employment was terminated due to poor performance. I don’t wish to get into the details but I am taking full resposibility for my lack of performance. I am currently studying for the CPA and I feel confident that I can pass all sections. I am concern on how the job market will look and how to approach it. I have 5 month gap between my transition from the small(left on my own terms) firm to mid tier firm due to traveling and completing classes to become eligible for the CPA. I want to try public accounting again to see if its really for me and I just had a bad experience with the mid tier firm or If I’m completely not cut out for the industry. I’m unsure what size firm I should target and what I should say on why I’m looking to have my third CPA firm in less than 3 years. Most firms do not hire during the summer and I am concern on creating another gap in my resume (plan to use this gap to take my test). Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
