PERSONAL
Since leaving school I have been focusing on gaining qualifications to become an accountant,
which is my career goal. As I study for these qualifications I have managed to obtain work
experience with a general dealer, achieving increased responsibilities in the accounting and
cash handling fields, and then with a UKAid-funded Programme. This Aid Programme has
provided me with further practical experience in accounting and basic auditing, though the job
has also provided a range of additional experiences. I believe I am a fast learner, able to turn
my abilities and commitment to various tasks, and I am able to work with a minimum of
supervision. Personal qualities include:
Able to multi-task;
I am a fast learner, eager to learn new things;
Take constructive criticism very well and am willing to correct and to learn from my
own mistakes;
Highly motivated and I enjoy teamwork;
Self-disciplined and open to new ideals, as well as not afraid to offer my own ideals
when needed or requested;
Enjoy doing any accountancy work for it is my principle motivation;
Highly principled and trust worthy;
Punctual (Always on Time); and
Well organized.
