Accounting jobs for recent graduates?

Look in the Sunday New York Times Classified Section.  You don't need to look anywhere else.  There are small CPA firms looking for accounting majors who just graduated.  They're called Junior Accountants.  They obviously don't expect you to have your CPA, you need to take the exam and have the practice first.  Don't give up.  Accounting is a great profession.  Contrary to what you may think, they would rather have someone with no experience then someone who has been trained poorly.  Stick with it and Good Luck!

P.S.  In the meantime go out and get accounts for yourself.  You can get small monthly write-up work and year end personal and corporate tax work.  You need money, right?  We're in tax season.  Buy a tax software program, learn how to use it, do simple returns to start.  Try to read the tax code as much as possible.  Most of it comes from experience and repetition.
