Additional Information
I recently relocated to Raymond, Mississippi on October 28, 2022. My last day of employment with Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government in the Finance-Accounting department was on October 21, 2022. I worked as an Accounting Specialist 1 focused mainly on Accounts Payable. I have successfully mastered my duties and responsibilities within two weeks after I was hired. I have enjoyed my job during my time there, and I am wanting to get into the same field. I am certain that I can complete my duties with little to no supervision. I have included a letter of recommendation from the Accounting Manager that I worked closely with. I hope that I can be an addition to your team.
