have provided my opinions and suggestions in business matter that my leaders have found to be
valuable. I handle the conflicts very sportingly. Furthermore, I am also good at handling conflicts
sportingly. I can confidently this due to the fact that I have always played the role of a advisor or
problem solver for my friends and colleagues in my school and university years respectively. I was
the one to solve the conflicts among my peers as well. I always think before reacting and never show
aggressiveness. Hence, I am assured that if I am being employed as the an accountant, I would be
very effectively playing my role and could help the escalated support team of my company along
with all type of technical supports in order to resolve the customer problems in proper and timely
way.
My other skill is team working and leadership. I love working in groups as I am very jolly
and collaborative in nature. I have always believed that there are certain things that I not good at. I
always seek for knowing more and I think, through group working we can gain that knowledge.
However, I have an experience of being a part time accountant. I have always ensured to
demonstrate my skills there. Once, we were give a project. The group consisted of 3 members only
therefore, the flow of communication was very easy. However, one of my team members was facing
challenges in putting his opinions and ideas forward. I encouraged him and appreciated his
contribution.
To my point of view, the good verbal and written communication skills that I possess is one
of the significant strengths of mine that has the potential of making me an effective employee in my
workplace. I believe the fact that in order to run a business smoothly and ensuring long term
success, effective communication is very necessary. It helps in avoiding the misunderstandings which
could influence the workplace productivity, efficiency and workplace morale. I have developed a
strong verbal, interpersonal and written communication skills throughout my academic career.
Working with ____ have allowed me to communicate effectively with our clients and customers and
dealing with them in proper manner at variety of situations. I speak clear and ensure that the

electronic messages that I send are not vague in any way. In this way I have been working with other
and improving my own learning.
I would also like to mention that I am excellent at managing and conducting meetings as well
as have the potential of presenting verbal presentations. With the same, I have the potential of
speaking and discussing confidently regarding my business. I always listen what others has to convey
and have always regarded their advices respectfully. Also, I am very effective at making
conversations in between the employees. As I have already mentioned that I have always been
excellent at communicating and meeting with new members. I am very jolly natured and have the
potential to get jell up with people very easily. I have always been given the task of speaking with
new members and public speaking through the inter-school competitions held during my school
years or in community programs. I have always ensured to effective communication and I believe

University design unit, I have learned many things about multimedia. I am very adept at using Adobe
Photoshop 7 as well as InDesign CS6. With the same, I also possess the basic knowledge of
Dreamweaver CS4. However, it is also to mention that like any other individuals, I too possess
weaknesses. As far as my weakness is considered, I want to say that I have many weaknesses to
mention. However, the one that is relatable to my career is that of lack of confidence and poor
fluency in English. Sometimes, the shortage of confidence within me makes me willing to quit when
something gets wrong. Hence, I think I need to focus on improving my confidence level as failure is a
part of business. After all, to err is human. Hence, it is natural to make mistakes but it is not natural
to quit.
