Summary

I'm a ambitious individual seeking an employer who will give me the opportunity to learn new skills and knowledge. I am keen to work hard in order to better myself as well as the company I work for. Most importantly, I want to enjoy going to work every morning and greeting my colleagues as well as keeping to my financial deadlines set. I like working within a team environment, while also being left to carry out my sole duties .

Work history

Accounts Assistant

Laughland Jones Limited

10.2021 - Current

I was initially hired on the kickstart scheme and I was permanently employed after 3 months. My initial boss ended up resigning after a year and I then carried out his monthly routine and kept to my deadlines, despite the work load for over a year.
