Read this extract from a job application form.

Outline why you are applying for this job. Use this space to describe your relevant qualification, skills
and experience and indicate why they are suitable for this role.
I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the skills I learnt in my
college. I have recently completed a 16-week part-time accounting course (AAT Level 2 Certificate). The
course covered book-keeping, recording income and receipts and basic costing. We used a wide range of
computer packages, and I picked up the accounting skills easily. I was able to work alone with very little extra
help. I passed the course with merit.
Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practised my skills in a business
setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so. I am particularly looking for a job in a small
company such as yours, as I believe I will be able to learn more skills. I would like to progress within a
company and gain more responsibilities over the years.
Although I do not have work experience in finance, I have experience in working in an office
environment. Before starting the accounting course, I worked for 6 months in a recruitment office as a
receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and visitors, taking phone calls, and checking
stock. Through this work, I developed my verbal and written communication skills. I had to speak in Spanish to
our clients. I enjoyed working in a team environment.
