"While attending University, I began working for XYZ firm as an apprentice. I was hired on full time after graduating with my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. I spent three years at that particular firm learning directly under the Sr. Cost Accountant which I feel gave me a major advantage in kick-starting my career. Since then, my biggest highlights include some great promotions. My career trajectory has been strong."
