Do accounting employers/firms look at a student's college transcript?

Question

I'm an accounting major student. I took Intermediate Accounting II twice. Slacked off both time. Got an F the first time and a C- the second time. Should I take it a third time to get a better grade? I know I am capable of getting a B or better.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, they are one of the few employers that DO look at a student's transcript. If all your other grades are strong, I might just let that one go, but otherwise, yes, you should retake it. Slacking in accounting is just not a very good idea.

Answer 2

You should chose another profession. No one is going to hire you, sorry.
