PARTE 5 COMPRENSIÓN LITERAL DE TEXTOS Lee el siguiente texto y responde las preguntas (95-99) selecciona A, B, C, o D. JOB APPLICATION I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the skills I learnt in my college. I have recently completed a 16-week part-time accounting course (AAT Level 2 Certificate). The course covered book-keeping, recording income and receipts and basic costing. We used a wide range of computer packages, and I picked up the accounting skills easily. I was able to work alone with very little extra help. I passed the course with merit. I believe my success was due to my thorough work, my numeracy skills and my attention to detail. During the course, I had experience of working to deadlines and working under pressure. Although this was sometimes stressful, I always completed my work on time.

SESIÓN 2 world, few of them know much about anything outside the US. They also believe that US is a dangerous place where you cannot walk in the streets or subways without the fear of being attacked. Despite this many want to go there for their holidays.
Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practiced my skills in a business setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so. I am particularly looking for a job in a small company such as yours, as I believe I will be able to interact with a wider range of people, and as a result, learn more skills. I would like to progress within a company and gain more responsibilities over the years. Although I do not have work experience in finance, I have experience in working in an office environment. Before starting the accounting course, I worked for 6 months in a recruitment office as a receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and visitors, taking phone calls, audio and copy typing and checking stock. I also had to keep the petty cash and mail records. Through this work, I developed my verbal and written communication skills. I had to speak confidently to strangers and deliver clear messages. I enjoyed working in a team environment. I believe the office appreciated my friendly manner and efficient work. [Texto] Tomado y adaptado de: examenglish.com/B1/b1_reading_job_application.htm
