  Temporary work as a Portuguese-speaking IT telemarketer at Quantum TM, Reading. The role involved calling prospects in Portugal and Brazil to gather sales leads and carry out enterprise mapping for the Symantec and Dell sales teams. I also gathered information about the companies’ budgetary and purchasing processes. In my second month in the role I was declared Telemarketing Consultant of the Week for achieving 347% of my KPIs and ‘performing at a level over and above all colleagues’. Keen to take the opportunity to broaden my accountancy experience I spent three months helping out in Quantum’s accounts department, on a part-time voluntary basis. This mainly involved assisting with the purchase ledger, inputting high volumes of invoices in Sage and reconciliation of supplier statements, as well as producing management accounts for the Financial Director.
