This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shirley Liang from Cathay Bank to discuss her rapid career advancement and how she was promoted twice in two years from AP Clerk to Staff Accountant. If you're considering a career in private industry accounting, here is a summary of my informational interview with a Staff Accountant.

In this informational interview, Cole Sperry and Shirley Liang discuss:

How to get your start in accounting after college.

Whether you should consider working with a temp agency to get your accounting career started.

How to select a good temp agency to help you.

What skills Shirley relied on to be promoted twice in two years.
