Default Need a job thread

So I figured this might be a good place to see if anyone has any work connections. I have been applying a lot of places online and never hear back, so do any of you have hook ups to help me find a job?
I just graduated with a bachelor's in finance and am looking for an entry level job in the accounting/finance field. I have limited work experience (various small jobs in college) and did not graduate at the top of my class but am willing to work hard to get in the door. Let me know with a PM or in this thread if you have any leads. I am looking in the Fairfax/Tysons area.

Thanks for any help

Might want to think about working at a bank or CU while looking for something in the accounting/finance field. Good luck.

Do you also have an accounting degree? If so, I might be able to hook you up with an internship to transition into full time at a Top 15 public accounting firm.

I have an MS in Finance, and a double BS in Economics and Finance. I also have experience at one of the Big Five. What kind of position are you looking to fill?
