To Whom it May Concern;
My goal is to find a place of employment where I may use, develop and expand the knowledge
and experience I have and dedicate them to a team oriented company. I appreciate structure
and routine, sometimes combined with a little pressure to keep me sharp and focused; the
balance makes me perform at my best so I can feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of
each day. I have several years of accounting and bookkeeping experience and adapt well to
any environment; I’ve enjoyed working in a variety of industries from public practice to retail and
agriculture, although the majority of my clients have been in oil and gas.
On a more personal level, I’m the youngest of seven children; my parents were business
owners in Whitecourt, Alberta, and the majority of my family is still there. They raised me with a
solid work ethic; emphasis was placed on qualities such as loyalty, honesty, dedication and
trust. Those qualities have since become priceless assets that have served me well both
personally and professionally.
I’m very personable and have a great sense of humor; growing up with a large family helped me
learn to appreciate most any personality type. I take my work very seriously, and I’m grateful
that time and experience has helped me develop a meticulous nature and I have an excellent
memory, both necessary for any accounting role. I appreciate earning the trust and respect that
comes from a job well done and knowing the people I work with and work for have confidence in
me. I prefer to be busy all day; down time often takes away from momentum and its difficult to
regain the same pace. If the need arises I’m more than willing to seek out tasks perhaps not
assigned to me, but still needing attention. If my effort can benefit another, I’m happy to
contribute to achieve the common goal.
In closing I’d like to thank you for your time as well as the opportunity to submit my interest. I
sincerely believe that any time invested in a meeting would be repaid amply and that I would
become a valuable asset to any company or organization. I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Respectfully,
Maureen Vickery
