Name: (Students Name)
Your skills and abilities
I am a professional accountant working closely with the revenue-controller. My tasks major
on accounts receivables whereby I am tasked to collect and account for the revenue of the
company. Besides, I carry out aging, just to ascertain that all our clients operate within their
trading limits. All these tasks are hands-on tasks as such I get excited about all of them.
Your personality
Personally am creative, committed to the task and highly flexible. These tendencies have made
me grow my career and work well with others. For instance, flexibility helps me take on many
jobs most of which have short deadlines. Creativity makes me think outside the box to help the
clients we serve, as some solutions are not documented in our SOPs. Commitment helps me
meet my deadlines without the last-minute rush.
Your interests
Other than gaining financial freedom at a young age, serving the customer right is always my
interest professionally. I utilize ample time in learning of ways of meeting these interests. The
key values that work as a driving force for the same id commitment and integrity. You are the
last person you can lie to, as such one has to fight hard not to. Integrity on the other side,
makes you do the right thing. In my life, the end does not justify the means, the process does.
People whom you like to interact with
I work with an all-round team of people. My boss is kind, courageous, persuasive and
intuitive. My colleagues, on the other hand, are creative, empathetic, honest and honest. The
clients I serve are hospitable, humble, enlightened and willing to take advice.

Organizational Behavior 3
Value you currently offer to people
Currently, I work for the best of the organization. It includes the managers the subordinates
or/and the clients. For my manager, I help in generating reports relating to profit-centers of the
firm and the means to seal loopholes to prevent revenue losses. For the subordinates, I help
them communicate their needs to the management indirectly and to the clients, I help them
when they face financial distress and not in a position to trade. We find a means of creating a
solution including doing work commitment letters
Value you aim to offer to people
From the years I have worked, most firms are unable to file tax returns on time. Those who do
it at times do it wrongly, I would like to step in and help most upcoming accountants get the
art and do it correctly.
What you Give (Costs for you)
Mostly its time, I have to come to work earlier before anyone else to set the mood for the day.
On most occasions clearing the backlogs and revenue, audits take most of the time, as they
need concentration, the morning hours are the best for this. The typical hard cost I incur is
following up with un-cooperating clients, some of who I have to go to their offices to ask for
payments.
The nature of tasks at your work
In my position, I have the control over the ledgers of the firm. I am the only one allowed to
conduct its audit with comparison to the relevant cash books. Revenue control is a critical
task, sometimes one recognizes a mistake from clients or other workers but you cannot report,
as it will affect the whole department. This makes you find for in-house solutions without

involving the managers. My routine duties include aging; invoice uploads, banking checks,
and weekly reports. Aging is complex, as some clients do not have money to reinstate their
account limits. It forces me to break some SOPs of the firm to support the business of the
client.
What you get (benefits to you)
Hard benefit - Salary.
Soft Benefit- Recognition, Personal and Family insurance, Company funded professional
education and Housing and Car Benefits
Task -person fit
Ideally, the system here is rigid, bending of rules is a mistake, and as such, the levels of
creativity are not well utilized. With the nature of duties, constant interaction with people is
limited as some interactions involve traveling and that will jeopardize my job. With the
rigidity of the roles, making personal decisions for the organization is hard, as it will
contradict with the SOPs. The introvert trait has people thinking that being stressed out about
the roles I undertake, which ideally is not the case.
Gap to create Value
Working with people demands for flexibility. In my view, to enhance business, the firm needs
to review its SOPs to adjust for difficult economic times for clients. The firm needs to create
alternatives like increasing credit limits for clients to create a conducive working environment
for both the firm and its clients.

Organizational Behavior 5
Equity
At my current position, I am satisfied. With the team I work with learning is enhanced and the
bosses are willing to teach the subordinates new tasks. Personally, this is a breeding place to
take on other challenging roles in the future.
Job satisfaction
The greatest job satisfaction is having a team of flexible colleagues who are willing to teach
and be taught new roles. The management considers the pleas of the employees and works in
time to review the pleas. The soft benefits granted as well as a source of motivation.
The rigidity of the SOPs is the main source of dissatisfaction as it contradicts some of my
interests, personality traits, and abilities.
