-: Hello my name is Matine, I'm an accountant.
One of the most important things,
and maybe one of the biggest pieces of advice
that I could give a student is how important
self improvement is, and self motivation
and being proactive.
If I see on a resume that somebody is
applying for accounting and is interested
in an accounting position, and this person
has gone out of his or her way to take maybe
some extra Excel classes to become extra proficient
in Excel or QuickBooks, or something related to that,
then that really tells me that this person
is like actually really serious about what they're doing.
They might have an actual passion about it.
