My work as an Senior Accountant.

I adapt to change easily and work well under pressure. The work that I do involves getting inputs from project managers, so I had to learn to be patient and making follow ups as I have deadlines. My communication skills has also improved a lot. I enjoy working in a team and get well with my co-workers. The most challenging aspects of my job is when colleagues do not send the required information on time and I have to put on extra hours to make sure that I submit on time. Sometimes I have to walk to their offices and demand the information and let them know the implications of not submitting on time.

Pros: The work that i do has removed me from my shell and have gained more confidence and has also improved my communication skills.
Cons: Long working works and non submittion of information by project managers.
