Article: There are many different jobs within and related to the field of accounting, ranging from bookkeepers and accounting clerks to financial analysts and corporate controllers. Spend some time online learning about the responsibilities and requirements of different positions. This will help you be better informed on your applications and interviews, and can also save you time in the long run as you'll be able to quickly sort out which positions you could be viable candidate for based on your education and experience. In any field, the Internet is quickly becoming a crucial medium for job classifieds. Post your resume on job search sites such as Career Builder and Monster, and search for accounting positions on general classifieds sites like Craigslist. Note that there are also numerous sites online that are dedicated specifically to accounting jobs, which you should check regularly. These include accountingjobstoday.com and accountingprincipals.com. Searching for job openings regularly and applying promptly is key when competing among the vast field of online applicants. When searching for job openings online, you may want to consider related positions as well. For example, if you have an accounting degree but no relevant work experience, taking a position as a bookkeeper may help you to flesh out your resume enough to later land a position as an accountant. Contact anyone in the accounting field you may already know. A hard truth of job searching is that it is often who you know that makes the difference. If you know anyone in the accounting field--a family friend, a business contact, and of course your professors--ask them if they know of any openings. A recommendation from an established accountant can be instrumental in opening up job opportunities. When you apply for a job, do a little digging to find out about the company first, and use this knowledge in your application. Caring enough to learn about the company shows interest and initiative. Start with the company's website and social media pages. After that, you can look at what other people have written about it online. If you get an interview, make sure you know the business inside and out. You might have a dream job or a dream company that you want to work for above all others, and that's great. But you should apply for jobs with lots of different companies to increase your odds of being hired. Experts recommend applying to 15 to 25 companies to be sure of getting a job quickly. One nice thing about accounting work is that it is very portable. While accountants are needed everywhere, they are most in demand in big cities. If you are willing to relocate, apply for jobs outside of where you live. You may be able to find work more quickly this way. As you search for jobs, you may notice that many accounting jobs are temporary positions. If you can't secure permanent, full-time employment, taking one of these temp jobs may be a good option. A temp job is a good way to learn the business and get some work experience while also making some money to support yourself while you continue to seek a full time position. In accounting, temp jobs are often a stepping stone to permanent positions.

Article: Your camera's manual will assist you in moving beyond the auto settings, and as you learn more about photography, you'll need to know where things are. As you learn, don't be afraid to play around with the settings. All it will cost you is time, and it will teach you what each setting does. Exposure affects how light or dark your picture is, and it is dependent on aperture, ISO speed, and shutter speed. Aperture is how much light your camera lets in, while shutter speed is how long the shutter is open, exposing light to your photograph. To blur the background in photography, use a low f-stop for your aperture, while a high f-stop creates a crisp photo. Use a short shutter speed to capture an image quickly, creating a sharp, still photo even when your subject's moving. However, if you want to show how your subject is moving, use a slower shutter speed. In the first situation, the shutter will open and shut quickly, while in the second, the shutter will open and close more slowly. With a long shutter speed, you must keep the camera as still as possible. ISO speed tells your camera how much light to use for a photo. A lower ISO speed tells it to not detect as much light. Use a low speed when it's bright out so you don't overexpose the picture, and do the opposite when it's dark. However, too high an ISO speed will make your photo grainy, not sharp, so set it at the lowest setting for the light. Composition is how you arrange a picture and where you take the shot. Do you zoom in on someone's eyes, or pan out to the whole woods with the person small in the corner? It depends on what you're trying to do with the photo. Taking a picture of eyes creates intimacy, while a small person in a large, empty space can create a lonely, surreal feel. One important rule of composition is the rule of thirds, where you mentally divide the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The best place to situate your subject is where the lines creating these divisions intersect. Essentially, you want the subject to be off center, both horizontally and vertically, because it creates a more interesting photograph. Pay attention to visual lines, as it can pull the viewer in to different parts of the photograph. You don't want to pull a viewer away from the focus. You can find fairly cheap classes at your local art museum or community college. In a class, you'll receive feedback on your photograph and learn new skills. You'll learn skills from other photographers, and you can post your photographs for review.
