    Hi everybody 

    I just got graduated from college with a degree and I have already passed part 2 of the CMA. I appeared for part 1 and is awaiting results. I have zero experience because I'm a fresher, I was wondering what sort of job (job title) I should be seeking for my experience requirement. Also, if anybody of you can pitch in some tips to find the appropriate job, that would be really helpful. 

    Thank you.

    Hi Lance,

    congrats on graduating recently and for passing part 2 of CMA. I'm curious what was your major in college? If you majored in Finance or accounting, then along with CMA you are well capable to apply for financial analyst, assistant controller, cost analyst, staff accountant roles. Best thing to do would be to get an accounting role with an established company. Once you solidify your accounting experience, you can move to finance roles. Accounting is the base for finance, so that way you'll have a good foundation before moving into finance roles. You may also look into consulting positions where you'll work with various clients and get a wide experience of various Industries. 

    Good luck!
