Friendly, confident extremely bright candidate with high aspirations.  Only a slight accent gives away her bilingual capacities but her perfect English is what makes her a strong candidate for an Intermediate accounting role. 

In describing her abilities to carry out the role as Accountant, the candidate states: 

After obtaining my Master degree of Accounting and Finance in the University of Adelaide, I have immediately begun to build up my career in accounting by joining into the CPA Australia and working in a small accounting practice for more than one year until now. During this time, I was always keeping learning quickly and working hard in order to be familiar with all kinds of tasks as soon as possible. As you can see in my resume, because of my efficiency and effectiveness, I was assigned many important jobs to do, through which I have got more experience and skills to provide excellent professional services in an accounting practice. After working for more than one year, I begin to search for a chance to improve myself better by working in a media to large accounting practice; I hope to be in a dynamic business, in which I could not only contribute my expertise to its development, but also obtain the ongoing support to complete my CPA and CA study.  

In support of my application I would note the following points: 

• Extensive working experience in a professional practice. I am familiar with different kinds of jobs in the areas of tax, accounting and self managed super funds, and therefore I have sufficient abilities to prepare financial accounts, income tax returns, BAS, GST, IAS and PAYG for all entities. Especially, I am familiarized with relevant law and regulations about superannuation fund, and I also have extensive working experience in preparing accounts and tax returns for self managed super funds. I also have working experience in auditing Trust Accounts and Company Accounts. 
• Competent level of computer skills. I am competent in all Microsoft Office packages including Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook, and I am also proficient in professional software such as SageHandisoft packages, MYOB accounting packages and Cash flow manager. What is more, I am a quick learner, and have the interests and abilities to solve problems in using a computer.   
• Extensive experience of working in teams. I have diverse experience of working in teams, such as the teaching team for the course of Quantitative Methods and the working team in current company. As an active team member, I know how to contribute practically to the success of the team by expressing my perspectives and exerting my expertise effectively, and at the same time, how to keep thinking independently.  
• Extensive experience of customer services. By Liaising with Australia Taxation Office, ASIC, clients and the third parties frequently, I have improved the ability of providing superior customer services by focusing on the ability not only to listen to the hopes and concerns of customers, but also to keep an open mindedness to their opinions and remain sensitivity to what they feel. 

Generally speaking, I am a highly-motivated and well-organized individual who, through extensive working experiences, has developed a strong ability to work hard and communicate effectively in team situations. I believe I will be a very valuable asset to any potential employers, and extremely pleasure to have a chance to talk with you for more details.
