Essay On Me And My Work

Experience of an Administrative Officer Pursuing Bachelors in Accounting

Write an essay on me and my work.

According to the dictionary, an essay is an attempt or an effort to write on a particular subject (Gonzales-Estacio, 2008). Here I am trying to write an essay on me and my work. I will be sharing my experiences and elaborate my work and will bring up why I have taken this job. From childhood itself everyone wants to become something in life and I also fall in that list. Leaving behind being a doctor, engineer, I wanted work in some field where I can portray my administrative and technical skills. As many of you know that I am also pursuing my studies apart from working, I attend the night school for academic purpose (Nelson, 2011). It becomes difficult for me every day to attend the night after the office but I have to do because I want to pursue high in my life (Le, Donnellan and Conger, 2013).

I have completed my secondary and higher secondary from the same school and now I am doing my bachelors degree from the night school (Ludtke, Trautwein and Husemann, 2009). I have seen many people trying to find or do a job while studying. It becomes a difficulty to concentrate on both work and studies but as I have learnt circumstances change people and make them do impossible things also. I have seen in a website that students who work long hours and also study have low grades in schools and colleges and also spent less time with their family. But I have consistently gained good marks in school and college (Baxter, 2005). I also give majority of my time to my family. I have seen my friends having lower grades due to work but I have promised myself not to face such thing and study hard to pursue great heights (Hadiyati, 2014).

Currently, I am working here at the educational centre and migration which I got through a source of mine. As I am doing my bachelors in accounting and have initial knowledge with no prior work experience, my current job is related to this vertical. I work on both financial matters and other administrative related work. I mainly work on two sections i.e. bills and accounts. The maintenance and processing of the accounts are maintained in four parts which are maintenance, development, debts, deposits and advances and earmarked specific funds.  I look after the fees that the students pay and accordingly give them the receipts. I also have to see the students who miss the fee dates or have made part payment of the fees. I maintain the account sheets. Some payments are made through adjustment bills and vouchers under the accounts head. I help in clearing the claims in bill forms under different types of transactions under earmarked specific funds, plan sections and maintenance. Apart from this I work on committees which include the academic boards, task groups and governing bodies. I also assist in the recruitment, alumni and public relations along with marketing activities. I provide administrative support to the students, tutors and lecturers. I also assist in liaising with other administrative staff, students and academic staffs. I also assist in liaising with other institutions, partner institutions, government departments, etc. I also help in facilitating and organizing a variety of educational or social activities. I focus mainly on the budgets and also ensure that the financial systems are adhered to. I look into work like purchasing equipments and goods as and when required and also in processing the invoices. I see that the high level of quality in work is maintained including the evaluation of course and approval procedures (Gornitzka and Larsen, 2004).

Balancing Work and Studies

As I am doing my bachelors in accounting it helps me relate to my work. What I learn in my classes, my job give me that hands on experience. The theories that I study I am able to give that practical orientation of the same. Many people wait to have experience in their field of study and then go for a full-time job, I am privileged to have a work while studying. Many companies do not give opportunity to the fresher’s as they have no prior work experience because they do not want to spend their financial resources in training people who are a fresher. I am gaining knowledge as well as work experience and I think I will not have any issues or problems regarding job hunt and may able to climb the corporate ladder. My academic experience can help in this job also. Currently I am assisting my seniors to all the work and trying to learn from them. Some years down the line I want to see myself in a position where I can be a part of the senior team and be present in the decision making process (Zucchermaglio and Alby, 2009). Administrative work is not a game, all institutions are based on this vertical and work cannot be done without it (Karlsson, 2009). I am very much thankful to my senior and my team leader who has very patiently taught me and still teaching me tactics and methods to do smart work so that I can learn very quick and deliver my work on time or before that. I also have an additional qualification and that is I posses a training in Citizenship and Immigration Service on the behalf of our government and so I can work in the immigration office (Administrative Sciences Editorial Office, 2014). I got this job because I am a critical thinker, speak well, have good reading ability, active listener, have social perceptions, take apt and quick judgments and decisions. I monitor any kind of work well and I am good in writing. I want to grow in an organization which helps me in my growth and where I can show my professional skills (Anzeh and Abed, 2015). I also have proficient computer training in query software and database user interface. Not to mention, I also have initial training of how to use handcuffs, radiation detectors, radiation portals, 2-way radios, x-ray equipments. My 9-week of job training has helped me learn more than what I could ever think of.

Initially I thought that having a finance background may not be good enough to opt for this kind of job but later on after training I could relate to the real life experience. My current organization offers me a challenging and diverse career in a complex and high profile environment. It is committed to ensuring that my country gets the best services in immigration and protection and citizenship (Duncan, 2010). They focus on the taste and preferences of the clients and work over many locations in the country. I can relate my educational background to my current profile because it demands accuracy, innovation, efforts and diverse skills which I think I posses. These particular skills can help me in my current profile to climb up the corporate ladder in the same field. The more I study the more I get interested in my work. I do what I learn. Studying and working simultaneously is always looked down upon but if any person wants to make best out of it can do it by focusing on his or her career. The person should only focus on the pros and make best out of it.  My organization helps me in enhancing my skills everyday on a regular basis. I have not only gained in financial background but have also gained in other fields. Leadership styles and motivational theories are some things which I have learnt from my team leader. These concepts help in developing the teams as a whole. I am privileged to learn these things from my team leader who has the interest of making his subordinates an expert in their respective fields. He encourages everyone to share ideas and concepts so that each and everybody can learn from one another. Relationship building is another thing that I have learnt from this organization. Being an administrative officer I have to be cooperative with every employee and relationship building is one vital aspect of cooperation. Through this I am able to exchange diverse ideas and improve myself every day (Nouri, Parker and Sumanta, 2005). My organization also helps in learning through exchanging ideas. They strive to create an environment for us that are motivating and rewarding for every employee. People from diverse backgrounds work here who are provided with an environment that have values and support them with their full potency (Pop-Vasileva, Baird and Blair, 2013).

Job Related to Financial Matters and Admin Work

I am content with getting an experience before entering into the full fledged job world. I will be ahead of many candidates if I apply in any company (Gracia, 2010). But for now I am focusing on my current job for which I am fully committed. It is helping in two-way process. I am applying the concept that I study and what I do in office I am applying those as examples in my educational purpose rather exams (Sin, Reid and Jones, 2012). I want to pursue further in the same field with specialization in accounts so that I don’t deviate from my initial work. I want to climb high in the same post as a senior executive and aspire to become a team leader first where I can teach my subordinates what I have learnt from my team leader.

Now a day’s students are very keen for doing the jobs while they are already studying because doing both the work and the study at the same time they also can get the work experience which will help him in future. So in this aspect as I am doing the bachelor of accounting and also the work of the administrative manager I think that it is not going to help in the progress of the career of the administrative manager in the education and the migration office. If it requires doing the proper use of the degree of the bachelor of accounting then it requires following the some of the other lines of the accounting in which the degree of the accounting is going to create the great impact on the work like accounts manager etc.  Because in the work of the accounts manager the degree of the bachelor in accounting is going to suit in a proper way and also going to help in both the knowledge of the work and also in the post of related to the accounting and finance. As I want to follow and also wants the future impacts of the post of the Administrative Manger there needs to do the some of the study which is based on the management courses like BBA, MBA and any of the PGDM course, etc (Pfeffer and DeVoe, 2012). As I think these courses are going to create the great impact on the post of the administrative manager because in this type of courses there is availability of the knowledge how to manage any of the post and also how to manage any of the offices or the organizations so that it can run in swift and comfortable way. By doing the BBA, MBA you also can add some values in the post of the administrative manager which will helps him to get the improvement or the up gradation in the post (Scott and Gemmell, 2012). Basically in the managerial role it requires having the strong skill of the leadership and also requires the expert knowledge of management of the things basis on the good communication skills, organizational behavior etc which helps him to manage and also get suited in the organizational culture and also helps him in the work of the migration office because the communicational skills and the behavior according to the organization is the most important things which becomes helpful for the future impacts of the migration officer. The other experiences which will get helpful by doing the MBA is that you can gather much knowledge of building the team and also the relationship (Schriesheim, 2012). This knowledge will help in the migration office as basically in the migration office there are very much people from the different countries so there is the most requirements of the knowledge of building the relationship. But if it needs to relate the study of the bachelor of the accounting with the post of the Administrative Manager it requires evaluating the whole study of the bachelor of accountancy (Griffith, 2012). In the bachelor of the accounting it offers the study of the financial accounting, auditing, and taxation and also the management accounting (Stewart and Powell, 2004). By doing the bachelor degree in the accounting he can gather the basic knowledge of the work which is related to the work of the administrative because in the post of the administration it requires to have the whole knowledge of accounting, auditing, taxation of the organization in a proper way because in a managerial role there is the needs of the full appropriate knowledge of the every field which will help him to do the proper management of the organization. As in the whole knowledge of the accounting and on the basis of the different subjects of the accounting you get to know the proper idea of the auditing and also what to do and how to do the auditing as per the needs of the organization (Storytelling…A Tool for Education, Leadership, and Team Building, 2012). In the taxation paper of the accounting it helps in the proper calculation of the taxes which will help in the calculation of the profit and the loss which is the main things of the organization (Schriesheim, 2011). In the bachelor of accounting you also can get the idea of the economics, mathematics and the statistics. In the business mathematics you get the ideas of doing the calculations which is the basis of the organization. By analyzing the subject of the statistics it also plays the vital role in the profit of the organization because by doing the statistical analysis of the any things it gets the more accurate, cost effective analysis of the market (Ludwig and Frazier, 2012). The analysis of the statistics it also helps in the doing the best leadership which will give the unbiased outlook of the market and also helps in avoiding the building of the strategy on the basis of unconfirmed presuppositions. By getting the enough ideas of the statistics it gets easy to do the decision making which will help me to take the proper decision which will become suitable and fruitful for the purpose for which the whole analysis is going to be done (Benz, Larch and Zimmer, 2014). In the economics part I also get the knowledge of many of the things which I think will also helps me in getting or making the proper ideas of some of the things which are related to the managerial role of the administration. This is the entire basic things which are actually available in the course of the MBA or any PGDM (Pfeffer and DeVoe, 2012). After doing the bachelor of accounting if you do some of the diploma courses on the management like PGDM it will get appropriate and also gets best suited to the post which will help him to get the best future way in the job on the basis of this degree (Baiocchi, 2012). As it is known that if there is the appropriate knowledge of courses then also there are the full requirements of the degree which will be helpful in the official purpose of the job. As MBA is better than the bachelor in the accounting because the after doing the MBA there is available of the most opportunities and also if it is needed I also can opt the job for any of the better choice (Lazear, 2012).

Assisting in Recruitment, Alumni, Public Relations and Marketing

So by doing the analysis of the bachelor of the accounting and also how it impacts on the future aspects of the administrative manager of the education center and the migration center I get to know that by doing the bachelor of accounting is not going to directly help in this specific post to get the effective and the proper knowledge and also get adjusted it will gets helpful if I can also do MBA and if not MBA it requires some of the PGDM course through which I can get able to some of the ideas of the managerial roles and also how to work properly work in the organization and also how to work in the team which is the basic needs of the improvement in the organization (Briefing: Team building, 2001). And also the some of the things which I get to know about doing the proper analysis of both the bachelor of the accounting and also the other best possibility for doing that I needs to do the proper improvement in the communication skills, building the team and also the others main things which will help me to do the proper improvement and also gets best suited to get some of the promotion and also the many other facility which will become available and also the many other things which will become of the strength of the future (Durlauf, 2012). By doing the proper analysis of getting the opportunities which will become available with the suggested course is that I also get some of the better increment in the promotion if I have any of the courses which will get more suited (Briefing: Team building, 2001).In analysis of the future impacts of the study I get to know that it becomes very possible to get the more future opportunities if I do either MBA or any of the PGDM (Ludwig and Frazier, 2012). According to me by analyzing either the MBA or PGDM, MBA is the best choice. I also need to improve the knowledge of some of the basic subjects which will become some of the basic requirements of maintaining the proper managerial role of the administration and also some of the proper ideas of the statistics, behavior of the organization (Jahin, 2012).
