Read this extract from a job application form and do the exercise. 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 the 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 office environment. Before starting the accounting course, I had worked for 6 months in a recruitment office 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 office appreciated my friendly manner and efficient work. Are the following statements true or false? Choose ''not stated'' if the information is not there. 1. The candidate has a qualification in accounting. 2. The candidate has a university degree in accounting. 3. The candidate has worked as an accountant before. 4. The candidate worked with an accounting firm as a receptionist. 5. The candidate is familiar with some accounting software. 6. The candidate has worked as part of a team in an office environment. 7. The candidate has experience in record-keeping. 8. The candidate wants to learn on the job. 9. The candidate has a maths qualification. 10. The candidate can work by herself. 11. The candidate intends to study a further accounting course. 12. The candidate believes herself to be a careful worker. 13. The candidate is applying for a job in a large firm.
