Summary

Through my time at college and work I have gained many skills that have prepared me for life in a workplace,

I think I would be perfect for a job as an apprentice accountant as I have always enjoyed working with numbers and always been top of my classes when it came to this throughout school and college. At college I am currently studying a Level 3 BTEC course where a lot of the work is based around CSR, marketing, international and other general knowledge on business. In our first year we completed the finance unit which I really enjoyed and did exceptionally in, I achieved a merit grade with only a few marks a way from a distinction. While completing my work experience I tried to find an accountancy firm that would take me in and show my the ropes but it was incredibly difficult but eventually I found KLIC that helped me complete it, I really enjoyed working in the finance sector and think this is the career for me.
