The Career Academy services for Bookkeeping Certificate Course graduates help students understand job requirements and how they are displayed in Job descriptions and job ads.
The goal for every job seeker applying for accounts department jobs is to align their resume and cover letter with the job description requirements.
The hiring process has become computerised as more employers use Application Tracking Systems to filter all the job applications to save them time and money getting to a shortlist of job applicants to be interviewed.
The Career Academy team have been helping MYOB & Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) up-skill to find work since 1996. Here are some articles which relate to the Career Academy services.
Someone made contact with me recently and told me about an opportunity where “I could make an obscene amount of money. Does that interest you too?”
This persons problem is that the link to his website didn’t even work!
Who makes an obscene amount of money?

Are you tired of submitting your resume to job after job only to get the same automated response?
You know the response I mean:
Hi FIRSTNAME,
We really appreciate the time you’ve taken to apply for the role of Business Admin Manager, and we love that you’re interested in exploring the possibilities of a career with us.
The selection process for this role was highly competitive and at this stage, we will not be pursuing your application further.
We are growing at a super fast rate and would love for you to keep an eye out for other opportunities that pop up at our careers site.
We wish you all the best with any opportunities you are pursuing right now.
MYOB has struggled for a long time against Xero but now seems to be in a sweet spot for price vs features.
MYOB is used by more than 1,000,000 users in Australia so it is a very good skill to have if you are looking for bookkeeping jobs or business admin jobs.
When we started delivering MYOB courses in a classroom in Dee Why in the late 1990’s I realised early that learning bookkeeping skills is best to do one step at a time. When I say 1 step I mean in training sessions that last no more than about 2-3 hours.
That’s why we created Micro courses in MYOB.
Visit the MYOB Training Course information page and see each of these different skill levels. You’ll see that it is based on the case studies I’ve written recently about like Flockana Cafe and Trim and Styles Hairdressing Salon.

MYOB costs less than Xero but now have similar features and that makes it an attractive choice of accounting software.
Xero on the other hand are constantly increasing their monthly subscriptions and that has caused a bit of an up cry for some users.
Bookkeeping Academy course packages are discounted courses which include MYOB & Xero Courses as well as combinations of Xero and Microsoft Excel.
Explore the Bookkeeping Academy courses and current specials.
The Bookkeeping Academy course packages are now on sale for 60% less!
Ever since Xero started to take market share away from MYOB they caused an increased need for students to learn both of these software programs.
We often get asked “should I learn MYOB or Xero” to which we reply, “have you looked for bookkeeping and accounting jobs online at Seek?“.
With our current bookkeeping course promotion you can learn both programs at your own time and at your own pace for less than enrolling into each course separately.
Is your name on this list?
I want to thank the following students for choosing EzyLearn and graduating from their Office Admin and Bookkeeping short courses.
At this point we don’t speak with some students again because they have the new skills they want and they use them to find work or do better in their jobs. That is a sad part of the training business for me.
Some students take advantage of our Career Academy services and stay around to get exposure to employers and other students.

Employers like small business owners are looking for staff online using Google. From office admin and business administration tasks to bookkeeping and customer service and sales, employers need staff to keep their businesses running.
The only way you are going to get discovered is if you have an online profile that CAN GET DISCOVERED and that is what membership to the Bookkeeping Academy does for you.
The biggest difference between applying for jobs and having employers contact you is that rather than go through the job application elimination process you’ll need to know what to say to employers when they call.
You can’t just say “I need more money, can I have the job”. You need to be able to identify:
One of the hardest things you’ll need to learn is how to say, “Sorry I don’t think I can help you!”
In bookkeeping work alone there are so many different types of work that you need to clarify what clients want.
The easiest way for you to get into bookkeeping if you are new to it is through data entry of invoices and purchase orders.
These are all basic bookkeeping tasks you’ll learn in the daily transactions courses in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online.
Get discovered online with a Bookkeeping Academy membership and other Career Academy Services to help you become more productive and efficient in the workplace.
If you want the support and nurturing that comes with an Internship you can explore becoming a Remote Contractor.
Are you earning $50 per hour at the moment? If you aren’t it can seem almost impossible to believe that you could, particularly when you look at your boss and imagine yourself asking them for a pay rise.
I searched online to see who earns $50 per hour and most of the search results in Seek and Indeed showed up saying you have to be a doctor, pharmacist or HR Manager but bookkeepers earning this much regularly.

Yes, it’s true! You can get Xero Certification for FREE directly from Xero. Xero offer two free Certifications:
We had a course inquiry from someone who had already done this certification and they raved about Xero and what it can do and how it works – BUT THEY HAD NEVER USED XERO!

For small businesses bookkeeping isn’t a full time job. It’s often something done by the owner themselves or their partner in life and these people are not usually that good at it – PLUS they’re family and that throws up all sorts of issues and resentments.
Wives, girlfriends, partners and friends are often chosen as the small business bookkeeper because they are either cheap or trustworthy but that isn’t always a good reason to “use” them.
Many bookkeeping jobs are part time, casual or contract jobs because they only require a few hours to a day a week to do and that is why so many students start a bookkeeping business. A big problem with this approach is lack of skills in marketing and sales but the Bookkeeping Academy can help.

Are these the words going through your head right now? Probably the topic of lots of conversations too with all these interest rate rises we’ve been having.
One of our students got help from a debt negotiator and they do an effective job but they have to make money for the work they do. One of the biggest is called MyBudget. You can achieve a similar outcome yourself with some good spreadsheet skills and the courage to sit down and work out all your financial affairs you can do it yourself. There’s even an official government website that has a lot of free tools.

I was speaking with a job seeker recently and she was telling me that she had applied for hundreds of jobs and tried dozens of employment sites but got NO job interviews. I mentioned to her that the employment rate is very low at the moment and that there is a lot of demand so she might do all right if she keeps trying.
What I copped next was flurry of expletives about how the Government is making up lies and that there are no jobs available. This lady continued to bend my ear until I had to excuse myself politely.
The problem that most people have with the Job Application Process is that they’re not practiced at it. There is a method and process to follow when applying for jobs and if you approach it with desperation or you get frustrated you lose sight of how you come across to the employer.
The employer is simply following a process to find the best potential job applicant and they want to make sure they get it right. Need help in the job search and application process? That’s where the Career Academy from EzyLearn come in.
