Summary
I have a range of experience of full-time positions since leaving school. I have extensive experience in people management and it is an area my attitude and diligence naturally gravitates me toward. Finance has been an aspect of my previous jobs, it is something I’m highly interested in so it is my goal to make it the long term focus of my career by gaining an entry level position within a firm. As a person I am highly target-driven and ensure a high standard in all work I do, I am experienced in dealing regularly with senior management and clients through consistent contact and reporting.
