9. TRUE / FALSE (1)

Outline why you are applying for this job. Use this space to describe your relevant
qualification, skills and experience and indicate why they are suitable for this role.

I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the
skills I learnt in my college. I have recently completed a 16-week part-time accounting
course (AAT Level 2 Certificate). The course covered book-keeping, recording income
and receipts and basic costing. We used a wide range of computer packages, and I
picked up the accounting skills easily. I was able to work alone with very little extra help. I
passed the course with merit. I believe my success was due to my thorough work, my
numeracy skills and my attention to detail. During the course, I had experience of working
to deadlines and working under pressure. Although this was sometimes stressful, I
always completed my work on time.

Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practised my
skills in a business setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so. I am
particularly looking for a job in a small company such as yours, as I believe I will be able
to interact with a wider range of people, and as a result, learn more skills. I would like to
progress within a company and gain more responsibilities over the years.

Although I do not have work experience in finance, I have experience in working in an

oce environment. Before starting the accounting course, I worked for 6 months in a
recruitment oce as a receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and
visitors, taking phone calls, audio and copy typing and checking stock. I also had to keep
the petty cash and mail records. Through this work, I developed my verbal and written
communication skills. I had to speak confidently to strangers and deliver clear messages.
I enjoyed working in a team environment. I believe the oce appreciated my friendly
manner and ecient work.
