Through work experience, and preparing for the TMA exam, I've acquired knowledge and skills necessary for a job in banking or short term financial management. For example, the knowledge I gained from studying financial statement analysis techniques, and ratios in preparation for this year's TMA exam would help me in evaluating a firm's collateral, financial condition, and repayment ability, all skills required for working in the credit department of a firm. I realize many jobs require salesmanship, and customer-service experience, but I have this from; working at Dominicks, and taking customers' orders at McDonalds, and I was once a very successful telemarketer.
