Dear Sir/Madame,
Attached is my resume for your review. Outlined are the skills,
qualifications, and educational background I have achieved while working
towards my CGA Designation and Honours Bachelor of Commerce. Presently, I
am looking to broaden my abilities and expand my knowledge in a corporate
working environment.
I am currently attending night courses through college and university which
are accredited by the Certified General Accountants of Ontario. As of this
time, I am working on Level 3 and 4 of my designation. I will have
completed Level 3 by December 2014.
I am a career driven person who is very motivated and goal oriented. As
well, I am punctual, organized, and hard working. My continuous pursuit of
knowledge and experience is what has led me to apply for an opportunity
with potential growth and longevity.
I look forward to having the opportunity to discuss further details of my
skills, qualifications, and possible future employment.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Amy Vanderveer
