Myth 1: If you like numbers or counting, you will do extremely well in accounting.

Fact 1: Accounting is more than being ‘bean counters’ or ‘walking calculators’. They do not work out complex mathematical equations or algebraic formulae; those would be the work of mathematicians. Accounting only involves simple additions, subtractions, divisions, multiplication and a few formulas. The catch is getting the right numbers to carry out the calculation. Most accounting work encompasses report writing, analysis of figures and interpretation of the financial state of the company.

Are you a working adult? Do you find yourself wandering home exhausted and blurry at 3 am each day, and then trudging out of bed at 7am the next day to work? Has your office become your first home instead of your nice cosy apartment? Do you feel like the initial bite of the work bug is causing you to be in a zombie-like-state almost all the time? Are you suffering from headaches, continuous irritability, fatigue, and on the verge of a mental or physical breakdown?  The good news is, you are not alone, and it is relatively simple to bounce back to good health. The bad news is, if you continue to be in that state, it would cause serious health problems, even leading to death.

The terms 'Curriculum Vitae' and 'resume' are generally interchangeable. However, few people know that they do differ in many ways. It is true that both are lists of the most relevant information of a person pertaining to job seeking. Both are used for the same purpose - i.e. seeking employment.

However, there are a few basic differences, i.e. while the Curriculum Vitae represents an in-depth and structured information about the professional experience and qualification of a person, the resume usually is the same thing in a very short form - hence, the name. The resume would usually represent a skeletal representation of what would otherwise be included in depth and detail in the Curriculum Vitae. This is why typically a CV would be two to three pages while the resume would not normally exceed one page.
