Accountant
Resume:
Dear Mr. / Ms. Manager,
RE: ACCOUNTANT
As a 2016 accounting graduate, I am keen to be considered for this new role, as I am keen to kick start my professional career.
Having graduated with a Bachelor of Accounting, I am ready to join an organisation in need of a can-do and will-do team player. My 3+ years experience working in dynamic and fast paced environments, where I assisted with customer service and operational support guarantees I am well-equipped to handle the new responsibilities in this role.
At the same time, the skills and knowledge I have gained from my studies demonstrates I can quickly navigate through workloads and duties in a responsive and responsible manner. Overall, I have worked very hard to gain highly credible experience, skills and referees that will guarantee my new employer I am an excellent fit.
I have taken the liberty of analysing and deconstructing the advertisement and have prepared the following summaries that address the key selection criteria:
I’ve got a great personality. I am a team player well liked by managers, peers and customers. My can-do personality is complemented by my genuine, ethical, trustworthy demeanour which has enabled me to build great rapport with both internal and external audiences. In previous jobs I represented the organisation on the frontline supporting company objectives and vision. I have excellent Australian referees ready to vouch and authenticate my credentials to be a best fit candidate for this new role
There is a robust balance of experience to complement my qualifications. I haven’t just studied, but have gone out into the “real world,” leading and supporting conversations with managers, peers, internal and external stakeholders, suppliers and customers from all walks of life. I enjoy being a reliable conduit and brand representative
I have highly competent computer skill (especially in MYOB and QuickBooks), which are essential for data presentation, data manipulation, data capturing, data recording and data processing. Combined with my excellent numerical / maths skills, I can present different types of data in reports and spreadsheets (especially with MS Word and Excel) in a clear and eye-catching way to support decision-making
I possess highly-developed English communication skills and I enjoy working with people at all levels. I have always practised a customer-focused approach and have excelled at building trust and confidence within the teams I worked within and customers I have assisted on the frontline
Overall, I believe I would make an excellent fit for this new role, because of the guarantees I have, which mitigate any perceived risks. Should there be something I may not know or possess, like a current CPA, I am ready to invest in, personally, to demonstrate to my next employer I am serious and committed to making the same investment in this new relationship. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely,
Dina Verma
