I would like to find a career related to accounting, such as accountant, purchasing accountant, cost accountant, etc., because after a deep reflection, I realize my love for the profession of accounting. In addition, I have studied and acquired more related knowledge during my undergraduate studies, and I believe that the skills and knowledge I possess can be well utilized in my work. As you can see, I am an optimistic and friendly person, I am a good communicator and I am fluent in two languages. In terms of soft skills, my undergraduate studies have given me good leadership skills, and when faced with an emergency, I can react quickly and make the best choice in a very short time. In addition, in teamwork, I always work with my team members to complete tasks efficiently, and my control of time makes it possible for me to never overdue a task. At the same time, due to my good interpersonal relationship and communication skills, I am always praised by my clients, and my patient service has led to a high level of client satisfaction.
