Documentation of Development Seminars, Workshops, & Extra Curricular Activities
I have more than 5 years of experience in accounting & finance, and business administration. My aspiration is to become an Accounting professional in the Canadian market. However, it required knowledge, skills, and competencies improvement. Focusing on my personal and professional development, I have participated in the following Workshops, Seminars, and extracurricular activities.
Career Development Workshop at University: I participated in this workshop during my last semester break to gain insight into Canadian-style resume updates, effective cover letter writing, and skill development areas to achieve my career goal.
- Workshop to meet career development advisors – Meeting career advisors and coaches helped me to plan my career with self-awareness.
- Canadian-style resume writing workshop – This helped me to articulate clearly why I am the right person for the job.
- Effective cover letter writing workshop – Learned to structure a professional cover letter.
- Promote yourself in 30 sec. workshop – Learned how to impress myself in 30 sec. introducing myself and getting the interest of the employer.
