I have a bachelor's in finance/minor in accounting that i got last spring, but I can't seem to be able to find a job. Even the most entry level jobs require at least two years of related experience, which i have none of because of not having a social. how can i even get experience if getting experience requires having experience? have you guys found jobs?

Well I just got approved a week ago...and my ssn is in the mail.

I have a bachelor's in marketing. I agree it seems most entry level requires some experience...but I have managed to find a few. I am in the process of finishing the cover letter and sending out the application.
Marketing Assistant.

Go to your college career website. That's how I found one.
Indeed.com
CareerBuilder
Monster

Search for Entry Level positions on CareerBuilder. Post your resume there and you'll get contacted by a few recruiters as well.

What kind of expertise do you have in finance? Valuation? Modeling? DCM/ECM?

I feel your pain about jobs (even entry level) requiring experience. Only thing to do is keep applying.

BBA in Accounting here. Work as a bookkeeper at a small firm but I'm really not satisfied with it. Been looking for a job ever since approval. Still haven't received any responses. I've even passed one part of the CPA since. Hoping some employer will recognize that. I've posted my resume on Careerbuilder. So far, I've been getting responses from insurance companies only. Nothing in Accounting yet. Trying to broaden horizons and networking with friends in the field. Keep the hunt on Kelsy. Hopefully something will turn up. GL.

Have you considered unpaid internships/volunteer positions? I know we all have bills to pay, but we have to start somewhere. That's what I'm currently doing since I haven't been able to find a job in civil engineering.
