Tell me a bit about yourself?

Hi my name is Ma. Angelica Postre, I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a student at Holy Angel
University and I’m majoring in management accounting.
I once volunteered to be a bookkeeper and an assistant on managing their finances on a private
resort in Tagaytay City. And since being involve in that environment, I’ve been learning the
basics and the analytical skills needed in accounting.
My goal is to be a certified management accountant, and I know that in order to get to that point,
I need to gain some more hands-on experience and advance my skills and qualities.

Why are you applying for this internship?


Like any other college student, I applied for this internship because of the potential to grow my
skill set in accounting in a professional environment. And I believe that this internship will help
me develop my strong work ethic and my team working skills that is aligned to my career goals.
I’d want an Internship as a kind of look into the future and of course it would be terrific
experience and as a management accounting major I started looking at potential employers and
when I came across on general motors, I learned that the current center activities are focused
on Accounting, Finance and Human Resources functions and it impressed me so about this
internship, I really wanted to apply for it, because it is within my scope and of course I will learn
invaluable skills from professionals.
Developing a strong work ethic, team working skills, learning from professionals that is aligned
to my future career goals

What are your strengths and weaknesses?


Self-motivated
Passion for learning
Self-motivation, commitment and desire to learn are my biggest assets. When I commit to a
deadline, I do whatever it takes to deliver. I’ll always get the job done and I’ll always get it done
right.
I always try to improve on everything I do, be it at school or outside of it. So I may be too critical
on myself.
My weakness is lack of experience. Of course, I’m earning my degree on management
accounting and I excelled in my classes, but I have to learn a lot to bridge this gap. But I see it
as something temporary.
I personally don’t think this is a weakness but, I’ve been told that I can be too direct. I’m a strong
believer in cutting to the chase, but now, I’m focused on being more diplomatic and empathetic
when it comes to my communication style.
While I still believe that constructive criticism is necessary, I attempt to express it in a gentler
manner and to balance it with plenty of positive feedback.

Describe a Difficult Situation and How You Handled It?


When I volunteered to be a bookkeeper of a private resort, the owner asked me to fix their
financial records in a way that they can easily understand and operate. I had never done that
before, but I embraced the challenge. I first started to separate to records by dates and months.
And when I reached the latest transactions, I’ve noticed many misplaced accounts, transactions
that is not noted and so on. I was able to settle their financial records, make them knew the
profit and loss they made and that impressed the owner.
