Ida

media type="file" key="Ida.wav" width="300" height="50" I am Ida Chung. I come from Hong Kong, China. I worked for a shipping company as an accounting clerk after I had finished high school. I have been in Hobart for four years. I got my degree from University of Tasmania majoring in accounting. I studied accounting for ten years since I was in secondary school. The reason that I came to Australia is because I wanted to experience a different kind of life and know more about the world.

I can use computers. I am not saying that I am really good at it but I can use a lot of accounting sofewares and I keep learning and improving my computing skills. I am healthy and hard-working. I can follow instructions and I always finish my work on time. I am a friendly person and I am polite to everyone and respect their cultures. I am well-organised and careful.

My work experience placement will start from next Tuesday. I am going to work in an accounting firm. I am not really sure what will they ask me to do, but my boss Mr. Jackson said I can start with bank statements. I met some of the colleagues and they are really friendly, however, I still feel super nervous. Anyway, I am very thankful for this opportunity.
