I am actively looking for a job and I would begratefulif you can consider my resume for a position within yourrespected company. I have completed my Bsc (Honours) in Mathematics and Finance at City University London, United Kingdom and I havebeen awarded a class II upper division.
Ienjoyed the course which I have done as it comprises of the different subjects for which I have an affinity. My modules haveenabled me to improve my analytical and quantitative skills. I have done a few modules that focused on decision making namely operationalresearch and decision analysis which helped in developing my abilities in interpreting thereal-life, ill-defined problems and formulate them as linear or dynamics or network problems. My course focuses on finance as well. I have a deep knowledge of the quantitative aspects of options, futures, and other derivatives. I also have a good understanding of the mechanism of interest rates, bond pricing, forward and futures markets, interest rate futures, forward rate agreements and interest rate swaps, option markets, trading strategies involving options. Although the majority of my courseis of financial and mathematical nature, I have a theoretical understanding of the accounting principles which I have acquired from my module Finance and Financialreporting which is also a core technical module from theInstitute of Actuaries UK. From this moduleI havelearnt the principle features and thebasic construction of different types of accounts and financial statements of a company along with the ability to interpret them. In addition I am looking forward to acquire professional qualifications such as ACCA/ACA or CFA.
FurthermoreI have acquired several transferable skills through my workingexperience. Before starting my tertiary studies I worked as a non-motor claims handlerin an insurance company for six months. Through my experience thereI have further developed my ability to pay attention to every details as there are customers who report claims that might not be covered by theinsurance policy. Having face to faceinteractions with customers, my communication skills havegreatly improved and I havegained confidence to tackle difficult situations. I also developed the ability in explaining the technical aspect of theinsurance policy in layman terms. My sense of responsibility increased to a great level as I was also responsible to make payments to customers on the system. MoreoverIrealised theimportance of team work because we were all assigned a responsibility for a particular claim thus werelied on our colleagues towards final settlement of claims. My second work experience was at Kingston University as a clearing hotliner whereI developed extensively my communication skills especially over the phone. Fast learningis one of my main qualities which was demonstrated in my ability to fully use therecruitment system of the university within three days, thereforeI am confident I can easily learn and use any new system in a short amount of time.
