Reflection

On the second day, I continued with the data entry tasks from the previous day, which helped reinforce my understanding and improve my efficiency. I was given a new challenge by Ms. Amber from the human resource and audit department to set up a full set of accounts for a new client using the SQL system. This was quite challenging because Ms. Chan was not in the office, and Ms. Amber’s guidance was a bit fast-paced and different from Ms. Chan’s teaching style. I found it a little hard to catch up at first, especially when keying in the opening balances with limited documents. Despite the difficulty, it pushed me to be more independent and improved my adaptability when facing unfamiliar work styles. I had to be extra careful and think critically to ensure accuracy. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability and cross-department collaboration in the workplace.
