Work Experience
-
May 2002 - May 2002
I chose Price Bailey to complete my work experience as I had every intention of working within a commercial environment and with numbers. I had always enjoyed math when I was young as this was a subject that made sense with rules. I enjoyed my time at Price Bailey and picked up new skills at a young age, mostly data inputting, filing, and with supervision I completed a few client summations, and reconciliations.
