      “Minimum Bachelor’s Degree with major in Accounting, Finance or Economics”
      “Prior audit or relevant accounting experience preferred, but not required.”

      Strikes me as “This job can be done by anyone with a high school education that knows how to open Excel, change a cell value, and send an email. Other duties as assigned.”

      That doesn’t mean anything, unless you’re in a field with government mandated certifications. If you know someone that already works there, ask them to submit your resume to get around the automatic rejections.

      I know that’s not the whole job listing, but but none of it specifies a minimum requirement for the job. The ‘minimum’ qualification just indicates that they’re not going to take note of lower qualifications, or those without an appropriate Major, not that having one is a minimum requirement. All things being equal, they’re certainly going to prefer someone with that qualification, but if you can get past the screening and show aptitude with the skills they actually need, you’ve got a chance.

          Yes, that’s saying that a Bachelor’s is the minimum qualification that matters to them, not that having one is a minimum requirement. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t have one and you’re up against someone who does, they’re going to have the advantage over you.
