WHAT I CAN OFFER EMPLOYERS
I can bring a wide range of skills to any employer, both on a personal and professional level. Throughout
my career, I have worked effectively both individually and as part of a team and have always enjoyed
excellent working relationships with my colleagues and clients. With regard to interaction with clients, I
have always believed that it is important to really listen to what a client has to say, understand what they
need and deliver, in a timely manner, what has been promised.
On a professional level, I can bring a wide range of skills to an employer. I have over twenty years'
experience in working in all areas of taxation and through my participation in the Business Innovation
Programme, I have gained additional skills. I have learned effective market research skills, innovation skills
and the most effective ways to manage projects.
I believe that the combination of all these skills would enable me to make a positive contribution to any
business.
PLANS AND OBJECTIVES FOR FUTURE
My participation in the Business Innovation Programme has given me a much wider choice in my future
career. To date, my work experience has been largely in private accountancy and taxation practices and I
would very much like to move into the wider business market. My objective is to obtain a post which
would enable me to put to use my qualifications and experience in tax but also provide an opportunity to
use some of the skills which I have learned during this year.
I am particularly interested in working in the services industry but am open to jobs in any sector.
