Five years after graduation I see myself as a VP at a bulge bracket bank in the mergers and acquisition department.
My co-op was a very good experience. It reinforced and reiterated lessons learned in class
As the Accountant Assistant, I became adept at entering data into QuickBooks, ranging from journal entries to preparing excel spreadsheets, that helped reinforce his accounting skills. The position helped me understand and prepare excel analyses for brokerage and investment accounts showing deposits, withdrawals, interest, dividend and sales.
It was difficult to get in the door, but I was persistent until i was granted an interview. That was enough to get me in for a week trial and ultimately the job. I learned a lot from Jean about management and business fundamentals. Of course I learned Quickbooks, which helped me reinforce my accounting skills. Tax accounting is a valuable thing to learn.
