I was excited to see your opening for a financial administrator position, and I hope to be invited for an interview. I received the job information from the NURAP email. The requirements and qualifications align well with my experience, education, skills and background.
My background includes financial reporting & analysis, and public accounting. I graduated from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business in May, 2015 with a Master of Science degree in Accounting and a Certificate in the Business of Life Sciences. I am pursuing the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) license in Illinois. Now, I passed three sections. I plan to pass the last one by the end of this year.
I started my full time job with Northwestern University Department of Medical Social Sciences (MSS) right after I graduated last

I am not afraid of any new tasks. Actually, I am excited to take the challenge. I am able to master any new tasks within one week. I learn from the experienced staff, by looking up resources online, and by reaching out to the school functional departments. This year, MSS experienced tremendous turnover in financial operations. Two leaders left, without fully handover. Except for the effort entry and journals, no one knows how to run the department payroll. At that time, I took over payroll and reached out to the HR/Compensation, Payroll, and the dean’s office to learn the process. Now, I independently manage the department payroll, including hosting the weekly payroll meeting and working with the research administrators on any issues related to grants/awards. I am very flexible and can adapt to the new environment well. I am also organized and detailed-oriented. I rarely if ever need colleagues to follow up with my work. Since I took over payroll, MSS significantly reduced paper journals. I always respond to inquiries from colleagues on a timely basis. My new manager Haifei Wang considers me as “always on top of
Majored in accounting during my undergraduate at Michigan State University, I am determined to be an audit professional at a public accounting firm in Toronto upon graduation from MMPA program. To better qualify myself and equip myself with advanced accounting knowledge, I am dedicated to obtaining the CPA designation as well. In the next three to five years, I see myself being promoted from an associate to a manager who will lead a team and direct a project. Working as a manager in a public accounting firm will definitely sharpen my leadership ability and problem-solving skills, which are prerequisites for my long-term career objective. Ten years down the road, I want to work in the finance department of a public company as CFO or controller,
My long term goals are to work while I pursue my bachelor's degree. Currently, I am interested in working in either pediatric cardiology or labor and delivery. Perhaps getting certifications in one of these areas. I know that once I am in the field I may change my mind and go in a completely different direction but since I can’t see that far down the road this is my rough outline. I am so excited and nervous to get

Currently, I am attending Waynesburg College in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. majoring in computer science and minoring in business. I have always had a
Getting a college degree is almost mandatory in this era. Finding a good job without a college degree is extremely difficult. Most of my family didn’t attend college so they always told me the struggles they faced when searching for jobs. My goal is to become an accountant so I can only learn those skills in college. I want to further my education and career opportunities by becoming a certified personal accountant. College not only teaches skills that people need for jobs, but it also teaches skills for improving as a person.
Your profession(s) - I worked as a C.N.A Certified Nurses Aid for 8 years and I’m currently working as a Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) for 3 year now, the second longest job I have ever had. My Future career is still ongoing, but I hope to graduate at the end of December 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration. I learned about being a C.N.A through unemployment, which I never received because I got a job. I learned about pharmacy technicians online and went to school at Everest College to become
My chosen degree at Kaplan University is Associates of Applied Science in Medical Office Management. I have always wanted to go back to school, which I did in 2007 and received my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certificate. I then went back in 2008 and received my Certified Residential Medical Assistant (CRMA) certificate. I have always loved the medical field in general especially the elderly and Alztimers patients. There are
Personal Financial Advisors work behind the scenes with every type of person. They are the people who know how money works, and can tell you the best way to spend yours. They make investments on stocks or bonds, they plan for your retirement or children's college education. Financial advisors are aware of different opportunities and investment plans and they have the means to put your money where it can earn the largest return. A vast majority of people invest money, and more often than not there is a financial advisor by their side. This means that I could find a job as a financial advisor anywhere in the United States and in most other places around the world as well. Of course, it fits to reason that the people directing the world's money
My personality and personal experiences have helped me to decide upon accounting as my chosen major. Before I immigrated to the United States in 2010, I had a small business in China for more than nine years. This experience and my desire to be an entrepreneur taught me the importance of accounting. In order to manage my business well, I attended a course in basic accounting at a local training institute. While in training, I learned that I loved working with numbers and applying financial analysis to economic issues. I have a passion for finance, economic issues, accounting principles, and the world of business and this has guided me to pursue an accounting major.
My thoughts on this career have definitely changed after doing research into this career. I only kind of wanted to do this job but, when I was done doing the research I really wanted to go into this career field it is bizarre or fantastic. Now that I have information from researching, I am going to be putting guidelines together for success. The next steps are for me to start taking classes in high school that will go with this career. Then, after high school, I will go straight into college to study for my major in finance, but, for now, I am embryonic or undeveloped.
I became an enthusiast of finance ever since I was at high school. At the political economy class, my teacher asked us: if you have a million RMB, how would you use it? She then introduced us the concept of investment, and I was intrigued specifically by the stock. For the latter two years of my high school, I have been reading books and articles regarding the stock market in the U.S. and in China. As one of the outstanding students ranked top 1% in College Entrance Exam in Hainan Province, China, I was accepted by the City University of Hong Kong with a full scholarship. With the strong interest in finance, I chose quantitative finance and risk management as my major.
Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.
First, I will express my personal mastery journey with my work life. I just recently graduated from the University of Indianapolis with my undergraduate degree in accounting. I graduated with a high GPA while participating in collegiate baseball, which I believe will help set me apart from others when beginning my career. That being said, I also believe that I have a lot of learning to do in order to be successful in my early career. I feel that I did not learn as much as I should have about accounting and I will need to dedicate a significant amount of time relearning and learning to have success in the accounting field. My vision for my career is to be a partner at a mid-level accounting firm in my early to mid 30’s. I aspire to be at a company that challenges me and allows me to progress and meet my goals. I would prefer a mid-level accounting firm because it would allow a better work life balance due to less hours. In order for me to bridge this very large gap of where I am currently at and where I aspire to be, there are a great deal of obstacles I need to overcome. First, I need to land an entry level position with an accounting firm that I feel will allow me to grow and succeed. I also need to put in the time to learn as much as I can about the profession. Finally, I need to allocate a substantial amount of time to studying and passing the certified public accountant exam. This is my
My first goal is to continue my education by earning a Master’s degree in Accounting right after completing my bachelor’s degree. The MSU’s Accounting program attracts me for both its reputation and its career opportunities available for international students. It is my responsibility as a future accountant to be really familiar and proficient at the tools accountants use regularly. Achieving my master’s degree will also help me achieving my second goal of becoming a CPA by meeting the requirement of curriculum. Thus, I am professionally and academically motivated to earn a Master’s degree of Accounting at the Broad Business College.
Finally Looking back since I returned to school maintaining a 3.8 GPA, I felt that my first semester in the accounting program has been difficult and grades have been hard to attain, but I realized that my work experience has been helpful as it allows me to return to school with organizational skills and the intense desire not to give up despite the difficulties and perform well as I continue the journey to my degree. I hope that I can get practical experience in the field though part time internships and volunteer as well.
